The EBU is committed to the care and safety of young people. Whilst bridge is predominantly an adult pursuit there are a significant number of young people who take part in our activities. Parents and guardians are entitled to know what to expect when their children play - particularly if they attend an event unaccompanied.

The EBU Policy and Procedures gives full details of what to expect from anyone who is involved in running a bridge activity where young people are present.  Whilst the whole document is important those who are planning to organise a bridge related activity will find Appendix C particularly useful - this gives guidlelines on how to plan the activity from the initial  risk assessment, through to the conclusion of the event. There are a number of useful forms which can also be used.

Any adult who supervises a child or a group of children (other than their own) in a bridge activity should obtain Criminal Records Bureau Enhanced Disclosure.

Full details are contained in the document Checks for Youth Workers
