Introduction to Criminal Records Checks

Total Taekwondo is committed to providing the safest possible environment for the welfare of Children and Adults at Risk and has a duty to safeguard and protect all participants from harm.

Criminal Record Checks help us to provide that protection by allowing us to check that an individual has not been barred from working with children and/or adults.

​
