If you have a concern, or see something that concerns you, please speak up. 

You can use our online quick referral form below to report concerns. There are more detailed incident specific forms for clubs and for parents and carers further down this page.

If you are a club leader or safeguarding officer looking to make a referral for a specific incident, please refer to the concern flow charts below. These outline the process for responding to concerns.

Please give as much information as you can in your incident report then email the completed report to safeguarding@scottishgymnastics.org. A member of the team will be in touch.

If you have an immediate concern about the safety of a child, or vulnerable person, you should contact the police on 101 or 999.
