Policy Statement

As a responsible club we believe that:

• The welfare of the child or young person is vitally important;
• All children have the right to protection from abuse;
• All suspicions and allegations of abuse should be properly investigated and dealt with swiftly and appropriately;
• All members and visitors should be clear on appropriate behaviour and responses. Failure to maintain appropriate standards may be dealt with using the disciplinary procedure.

We will therefore ensure that:

• All members are aware of the Child Protection Policy and Procedures;
• Any interested parties are given information on our procedures regarding the safety of children; and
• Our complaints procedure is accessible to all.
