Safeguarding and Youth Participation
Everyone who takes part in sport deserves to feel safe, respected and valued. We are committed to the wellbeing of all participants, especially children and young people.
Our safeguarding principles
Responsible supervision
Activities involving young people should be appropriately supervised by responsible adults.
Respectful conduct
Bullying, harassment and abuse of any kind are not acceptable.
Parental communication
Parents and guardians should be kept informed and involved.
Inclusion
Everyone should be treated fairly regardless of background or ability.
Reporting concerns
Concerns should be raised promptly and handled seriously and confidentially.
Responsible sportsmanship
Adults lead by example in conduct towards players, officials and opponents.
