We have recently received a few questions from parents and guardians about young people training with Longford Striders Coventry.

To reassure you, our Safeguarding Policy has been reviewed and updated in line with current England Athletics and RunTogether guidance. This ensures that every session we deliver continues to be safe, inclusive and appropriately supervised.

All runners aged 12 to 17 must have a completed Parental Consent Form before taking part in any group session. This process helps us maintain accurate emergency contact and health information, while ensuring that all activity takes place within the scope of our coaching licence and insurance requirements.

Please note that due to these regulations, our sessions are not suitable for children under the age of 12.

Both the Safeguarding Policy and Parental Consent Form are available to view online. If you have any further questions or would like clarification on any aspect of safeguarding or participation, please get in touch.
