THE WEST RIDING GIRLS
FOOTBALL LEAGUE accepts and adopts the FA Rules, procedures
and policy on Child Protection. The policy statement
provides that... |
|
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
|
The Football Association
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. It is
determined to meet its obligation to ensure that those clubs and
organisations providing footballing opportunities for children and
young people do so to the highest possible standard of care
(Appendix 1 - The Football Association Regulations) |
|
|
|
|
|
These procedures apply
to anyone in football whether in a paid or voluntary capacity.
For example, volunteers in clubs, referees, club officials,
helpers on club tours, football coaches and medical staff. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Football Association
will consider, having taken advice, whether anyone who has a
previous criminal conviction or caution for offences related to
the abuse of children or young people, violence or any sexual
offences should be excluded from working with children and young
people. This position is re-enforced by UK legislation
and guidance. |
