Welcome to the Lewisham Shotokan Karate Centre

All instructors and coaches teaching at the Lewisham clubs have to obtain an Enhanced Certificate from the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB), who conduct an in-depth search into the background of any applicants. Only after such searches is a certificate issued.

The CRB will alert the JKAE to any potential risk posed by an instructor to children and will take steps to prevent the instructor from teaching. If a certificate is not produced and has not been vetted, they will not be able to teach children as a JKAE instructor.

The JKAE has a dedicated Child Protection Unit within the committee to ensure the association keeps in line with current and future legislation.

Anyone with a query on this subject can contact the JKAE.
