WheelPower is committed to operating using clear, concise and appropriate policies and procedures. You can view some of our key policy documents below.
Safeguarding describes how we protect adults, children and young people from abuse and neglect. It means proactively protecting those who may be vulnerable or at risk of abuse or neglect due to the actions, or lack of action, of another person.
WheelPower is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for the benefit of its employees, volunteers, contractors and the people who attend one of our events or programmes.
These are the terms and conditions that apply to each fundraising or sport event organised by or on behalf of WheelPower.
WheelPower will ensure the safety and protection of all children and vulnerable people involved in disability sport and will make sure that all relevant coaches and volunteers have completed an up to date DBS Check before assisting at WheelPower events. This Policy includes details of how to apply for a Disclosure by using the online system created by Online Disclosures.
As a registered charity with growing participation in sport and physical activity at the centre of what we do, delivering our mission to transform lives through sport is based on our core values as an organisation.
WheelPower is committed to diversity in all aspects of its business and activities, including the composition of its Board of Directors. The Board believes that diversity, along with varied skills and experiences, contributes to a balanced and more effective board.
Classification is a defining feature of wheelchair sport establishing who can and who cannot take part. WheelPower endorses the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) rules and endeavours to work with the British Paralympic Association (BPA) in adhering to them.
Based at Stoke Mandeville Stadium, we have been providing opportunities for physically disabled people to move more, play sort and lead active lives for over 70 years.
