Safeguarding & School Partnerships

  • Our Commitment to Child Protection

    Bangkok Volleyball Academy (BVA) is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive training environment for all athletes.

    We operate under a child-centred approach that prioritizes:

    • Physical safety

    • Emotional well-being

    • Appropriate coach–athlete boundaries

    All BVA coaches and staff are expected to uphold professional conduct at all times, both on and off the court.

    Key principles

    • Training environments are supervised and structured

    • Coaching interactions are appropriate, respectful, and transparent

    • Any concerns related to athlete welfare are taken seriously and addressed promptly

    BVA believes that safeguarding is not an add-on to coaching, it is a foundational responsibility.

  • Responsible Use of Media

    BVA follows strict guidelines regarding photography, video recording, and social media use involving athletes.

    These guidelines are designed to:

    • Protect student privacy

    • Respect school policies

    • Align with international safeguarding best practices

    Our approach

    • We do not publicly post identifiable images or videos of students without appropriate consent

    • Training content shared publicly focuses on coaching process, facilities, and structure rather than individuals

    • Any approved media use prioritizes anonymity and professionalism

    This approach ensures that athlete participation in BVA programs never compromises their privacy or safety.

  • With Schools, Not Around Them

    BVA operates in partnership with international schools and respects the safeguarding frameworks under which these institutions operate.

    Our programs are designed to align with:

    • School child protection policies

    • Media and data privacy standards

    • Expectations for third-party providers working with students

    By embedding our operations within school environments, BVA ensures:

    • Consistent expectations across academic and athletic settings

    • Clear communication with school leadership

    • A shared commitment to student welfare

    This alignment allows families to engage with BVA confidently, knowing that our standards match those of the schools their children attend.
