Enforce Safeguarding Laws In UK Pro Wrestling Schools
The Issue
Everyone should have a safe place to learn their craft and follow their dreams. Recently, there's been a few trainers and others in positions of trust be exposed as abusers and sexual crime perpetrators, including the grooming/assault of underage trainees. Pro wrestling is an amazing form of entertainment and we shouldn't allow a small minority to ruin a widely loved form of sports entertainment. However, these events have highlighted that very few wrestling schools are following the law regarding running sports clubs where children can train. Many places have even failed to fill out medical forms or even have DBS checks on trainers who work with minors. This is unacceptable and skirts the law dangerously. There is a magnitude of free information available to wrestling school owners and not following these laws is down to either ignorance, laziness or a complete disregard for others safety. This must change. If you take money from children to train you should ensure they're safe in your environment.
