Whenever there is contact between the Norman Lockyer Observatory Society and with children the society recognises that a child’s welfare is paramount in all circumstances.

The Norman Lockyer Observatory Society will make this policy statement and the Federation of Astronomical Societies Child Protection Guidelines available to all members.
