A MESSAGE FROM OUR NATIONAL DIRECTOR

As A.I.M.A.A Scotland Director I am dedicated to providing a safe and unthreatening environment within all A.I.M.A.A Scotland school for all students under the age of 18 years old.

Our Child protection policy is very clear and concise. All Instructors must ensure that they know all rules set out, and be prepared to comply with all its rules and regulations. Failure by an A.I.M.A.A Scotland Instructor to comply with the child protection policy will result in disciplinary action, and may result in expulsion from A.I.M.A.A Scotland.

Each Individual dealing with children must ensure that they undertake training in child protection on a regular basis. Under no circumstances should anyone consider themselves beyond child protection regardless of their position within the organisation or their professional standing outside A.I.M.A.A Scotland.

I am proud to state that our organisation has implemented an outstanding child protection policy, and that each Individual Instructor, Assistant Instructor and Club Assistant has been checked by Disclosure Scotland. Our Schools within Scotland each have at least one, sometimes two child protection officers that are known to the parents and students of that school.

Our child protection officers are dedicated to ensuring our students safety within our schools and have the full backing of all Instructors within A.I.M.A.A Scotland.  All those who instruct or who help are willing to accept the prestige that goes with ensuring that full commitment is given to the well-being of all our students.

Yours Sincerely

Master John Kirkwood 6th Degree

A.I.M.A.A Scotland Director
