  SAFEGUARDING                      .

The EIBA is committed to its duty of care to safeguard all those who participate in our sport, ensuring that they can do so in a safe environment. We offer support, advice, and in cases of a safeguarding concern, full case management and investigation from both our own dedicated safeguarding staff, and from our safeguarding partners across all codes of bowls.

For effective co-ordination in safeguarding policy, procedure, and case management across all codes of bowls, the EIBA works in collaboration and alongside The Bowls Development Alliance, Bowls England, The English Short Mat Bowling Association, The British Crown Green Bowling Association, The English Bowling Federation, and Coach Bowls.

All safeguarding concerns must be reported the EIBA:
