Thanks to all who volunteer for the club, information on Safeguarding is supplied to you to ensure you have current thinking on responsibilities and incorporate this into your procedures.
However Safeguarding is a club-wide responsibility and I would be grateful if you would all take a minute to run through this info and if there is an area where you think we could improve our delivery or if you have a concern, please contact me. I would be very pleased to hear from you. Working collectively gives us the best opportunity to deliver a safe environment for our junior players and vulnerable adults.
