Organisers and volunteers can attend seminars, organised monthly across Somerset, and information packs can be sent out. The free packs include information on deterring abusers from joining clubs and details on how to protect youngsters from opportunist thugs who may mistreat children.
The next seminar will be held in Taunton on October 16 at Weir Lodge from 7-8.30pm.
