Safeguarding

As a club all playing members, social member’s, parents of players, coaches and managers are expected to comply with all our policies and procedures.

By joining the club you acknowledge that you will abide with all of them.

Safeguarding means:
Prevention
The things we do to minimise risk. It means doing everything possible to prevent any kind of harm or abuse from happening, such as physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect, trafficking and exploitation

Response
The things we need to do when we’re concerned that someone is at risk or is suffering harm of abuse.

Quite often the term ‘protection’ or ‘child protection’ is used to describe the response – the action taken when there are concerns for a child (or adult) who may be suffering harm or abuse or is at risk of suffering harm or abuse.

Who is responsible for providing safe sport environments?
Everyone in the Club (Coaches, Managers, ExCom Members and Employees)  have a duty to make sure activities are delivered as safely as possible.

This is part of our safeguarding responsibility.

Parents and all other members should also report anything they may feel needs to be reviewed.
