Please be reminded that in 2017 British Canoeing formed a UK wide Safety Panel to improve safety systems, work with partner agencies and provide guidance.
Included in this work is the monitoring of incidents and near misses, not just injury and accidents but all incidents whether access disputes, environmental, or due to other water users etc.
It is a single UK wide incident reporting system, including Northern Ireland, that enables you to record your experiences and request support and assistance if there is a problem that needs to be resolved.
The information we have is only as good as the information submitted. So if you, your club or group, have been involved in an incident or near miss tell us what has happened. The information you give us could help keep others safe.

British Canoeing World Class Programme Support
The ongoing challenges of the pandemic are resulting in a significant impact to the development and performance opportunities for all athletes at all stages of the pathway. Talented athletes in their last year of juniors or at the beginning of an U23 career in 2019 have been impacted and missed significant opportunities to develop their paddling in 2020 and 2021 at a critical period in their journey.
British Canoeing are pleased to share with you the news that we are launching a new level of support identified as ‘World Class Programme Prospect Support’ to a targeted group of talented athletes who are most likely to challenge for a WCP place through the 2021 season.
Applications for support will close on the 23rd February. Athletes will be notified of the outcome on 9th March and provision will commence from 1st April 2021.
