Report a Concern
What is this form for?
This form reports a safeguarding concern to British Equestrian. A safeguarding concern could involve an allegation of abuse or being worried that a child or adult at risk (as defined by the Care Act 2014) may be at risk of harm or may have been harmed.
What happens after the form is submitted?
Your concern will be sent directly to the British Equestrian Safeguarding Team. Your concern will be managed by a trained safeguarding professional in an empathetic and professional manner. We will get back to you as soon as we can. Please provide your contact details so that we can obtain further information from you, if necessary.
Your concern will be treated in confidence and, whilst we have a duty to refer certain matters to the police or local authority, we will always try to do so with your consent. British Equestrian will use the personal information that you provide in accordance with our privacy policy (which may be updated from time to time).
