We take special care to ensure that all our younger members feel safe and secure and that their experience of Shotokan karate is both an enjoyable and a rewarding one. All instructors teaching at JSKE clubs including BSKC have to obtain Enhanced Certification (ECRB) from the Criminal Records Bureau. The CRB conducts an in-depth search into the background of any applicants. For further information about ECRB checks click here.
