The British Horseracing Authority has announced revised safeguarding measures for British racing focused on protecting the sport's most vulnerable participants. They are:
- Leadership: Embedding a culture of safeguarding across British racing, with the BHA Board championing safeguarding throughout our values and priorities;
- Governance: Establishing a strong governance framework to support our safeguarding arrangements by ensuring BHA Board members and staff are clear about their responsibilities and regulation is consistent with legislation, government guidance and good practice;
- Prevention: Taking all reasonable steps to create an environment where it is as difficult as possible for any abuse, exploitation or mistreatment of children and adults at risk to take place;
- Protection: Promoting and protecting safety and welfare by working with stakeholders to strengthen our safeguarding arrangements and to share good practice across the sport;
- Empowerment and education: Committing to raise safeguarding awareness and empowering all participants to identify and report concerns.
These revised measures will sit alongside the BHA's Safeguarding Code Of Conduct.
