Sports including martial arts like Muay Thai have a very influential and positive impact on individual’s especially children and young people (CYP). Participating in muay thai can offer physical and mental health benefits; it provides experiences of enjoyment and attainment. It can also develop important personal qualities like confidence as self-and interpersonal skills like leadership and teamwork. However, these positive effects only happen if we prioritise the welfare of all CYP and vulnerable adults and those involved with muay thai adopt practices that support, protect and empower young people.
Muay Thai GB (MTGB) is committed to working in partnership with all agencies to ensure that information and training opportunities are available to ensure best practice when working with children, young people and vulnerable adults. Adopting best practice will help to safeguard them from actual or potential abuse as well as reducing the likelihood of allegations being made about coaches and other adults in positions of responsibility in Muay Thai. We will also be working with the responsible adults around children to improve and educate adults on how to spot the signs of abuse, and the appropriate routes to make an raise a complain
