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. |
