Denmead FC Child Safeguarding & Welfare

Every child or young person who plays or participates in football should be able to take part in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from abuse.
The clubs designated safeguarding officers (club welfare officer) will be able to advise you on Policies, Procedures and guidance on recruiting volunteers, getting the essentials in place, dealing with poor practice, bullying and abuse.
The FA is football’s governing body in England, safeguarding is a fundamental aspect of The FA’s role – and that of its affiliated members.

Collectively we have an ongoing duty to ensure the game is a safe, positive and enjoyable experience for the millions of children, young people and adults who regularly play, watch, coach, referee and volunteer.
Our united approach to safeguard across the game is driven by a clear three-part strategy:

• Implementing preventative safeguarding measures (such as safer recruitment) to create fun, safe football environments; 

• Making the reporting of concerns as easy as possible;

• Ensuring safeguarding, child protection and adult at risk concerns are investigated swiftly and thoroughly in conjunction with statutory agencies – and with demonstrable outcomes.
