Our commitment to safeguarding
At Easy After-school Jiu-Jitsu, the safety and wellbeing of every child in our classes comes first. We work in close partnership with the safeguarding teams in each of the schools we operate in, and follow the standards set by our National Governing Body, the UK Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association (UKBJJA). All of our coaches are DBS-checked, hold up-to-date safeguarding training, and follow our published Codes of Conduct.
