Safeguarding & Social Media Policies
Red Rose Land Rover Club Limited recognises that many children and young people today are fully engaged in a fast-moving and ever-changing technologically advanced world. Most children have access to computers and smartphones either in school and/or at home. In addition, the increasing use of smartphone technology with access to the mobile internet means that there are few restrictions on when and where children have access to social media sites. Red Rose Land Rover Club Limited is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people who engage with our club on any social media sites and as a result we have adopted the Social Media policy developed by Motorsport UK to support us in this commitment.
​
The club takes a zero tolerance approach. A breach of the expected standards of the clubs policies will result in verbal warning, written warning and suspension from the club.
