With a significant percentage of its membership between the ages of 5 and 16, the GTUK takes the issue of child protection very seriously.

Without exception, all of its instructors MUST have satisfied the regulatory procedures set out by the British Taekwo-do Council; the sports regulatory body in the UK.

That means to qualify for necessary indemnity insurance with the BTC, all instructors must have been subject to police screening.

The GTUK run a series of child protection courses, and most of its instructors attend in a “top-up” capacity even after the first obligatory course.

These seminars cover health and safety issues as well as encouraging shared ideas and experiences throughout the membership.
