Child Protection

 

Ware Youth Child Protection Policy

  Every child and young person who plays football should be able to participate in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from abuse. This is the responsibility of every adult involved in football. We recognise, however, that child abuse is also a very emotive and difficult subject. It is important to understand the feelings involved but not to allow them to interfere with our judgement about any action to be taken.

 
The club recognises its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people by protecting them from physical, sexual or emotional harm and from neglect or bullying. Clear practices and procedures will ensure that everyone knows exactly what is expected of them in relation to the protection of children and young people within our sport. It is essential that those children and young people attracted to and participating in football are able to do so in a quality, safe and enjoyable environment.
 
The Ware Youth F.C. Policy is:
  • To develop a positive and pro-active position in order to best protect all children and young people who play football, enabling them to participate in an enjoyable and safe environment.
  • To demonstrate best practice in the area of child protection.
  • To promote ethics and high standards throughout football.
The key principles underpinning this Policy are that:
  • The child’s welfare is, and must always be, the paramount consideration.
  • All children and young people have a right to be protected from abuse regardless of their age, gender, disability, culture, language, racial origin, religious beliefs or sexual identity.
  • All suspicions and allegations of abuse will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately.
The following steps have been taken to assist in policing the policy
  • Every team must have at least one official (either Manager or Coach) who has attained the F.A. Child Protection Certificate.
  • The Club has a Child Protection Officer, Rob Klippel, who is charged with the task of monitoring Child Protection issues.
  • The Club will display Child Protection information on noticeboards within the Clubhouse.

If you have any questions concerning child protection or wish to discuss a child protection issue then please call Rob Klippel, Child Protection officer on 01920 422567
