The Ayrshire Golf Association has recently been awarded Safe Golf Accreditation by Scottish Golf.
SafeGolf is a partnership of UK golf bodies committed to promoting a safe and positive environment for all those participating, working and volunteering in the sport.
Scottish Golf has launched a SafeGolf Accreditation programme, which will enable all affiliated clubs and facilities to complete a self-evaluation of their current safeguarding practices through an online self-assessment tool to support them with implementing the standards set out by Scottish Golf.
The process covers three topic areas essential to delivering a safe environment where children and young people can enjoy the game:
1. Junior Workforce
2. Safeguarding Policies
3. Safeguarding Procedures
The Ayrshire Golf Association undertook a comprehensive review of policies and procedures which resulted in the awarding of SafeGolf Accreditation in early May 2026.
The Safeguarding Policies and Safeguarding Procedures will be reviewed and updated every three years.
The implemented policies and procedures and Safe Golf Accreditation are designed to help The Ayrshire Golf Association provide a welcoming and safe environment for all juniors.
All Executive members who are involved in junior coaching and junior team matches are registered with the PVG scheme and, where appropriate, have attended suitable training events.
All the relevant policies and information are available in the Safeguarding section of the Ayrshire Golf Association website at
