About UsSafeguardingGuidance Documents Guidance Documents The following guidance documents and procedures are referred to in British Rowing’s Safeguarding and Protecting Children Policy and provide more detailed information. The following guidance documents and procedures are referred to in British Rowing’s Safeguarding and Protecting Children Policy and provide more detailed information. We have taken the opportunity to re-number and re-organise the growing number of guidance documents (previously called SPCGs) listed at the back of the policy document and available to download from the British Rowing website. It is intended that the grouping of these documents will make it easier to find all the related guidance for a particular issue or question. The guidance documents will now carry the prefix WG (Welfare Guidance) and a matrix to help convert SPCG to WG is available here.
