The Code was developed by Sport England through close consultation with representatives from martial arts governing bodies, the Child Protection in Sport Unit and those with years of expertise in safeguarding. Clubs and providers can pledge to work towards the Code now, with the Code becoming fully operational in the summer.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 06/06/2018 09:27:00 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
