❖ To report any incident that frightens or confuses them

 

Photography

All parents/guardians/carers must give their consent to use a player’s image if it is in the public domain e.g. club website or on social media. This ensures that any child registered as a player with the club, who is under care proceedings, is protected. It is not an offence to take appropriate photographs in a public place but permission is required if the activity is on private land. Club officials will take all reasonable measures to ensure that protected children are not photographed. Club officials will ensure that all photography follows the FA guidelines.

Persistent breaches of the code will result in the player being suspended from the team or Club. They may be invited to attend a disciplinary hearing.

❖ Trained and qualified coaching staff, who have been DBS checked

❖ Notice of the times of matches and training sessions and a contact number in case a player is unavailable

❖ A code of conduct by which players, parents/carers/helpers/spectators and officials are required to abide

❖ Safeguarding and Equal Opportunities policy

❖ An undertaking that at all times the welfare of the player will be given the highest priority

❖ Playing kit (shirt, shorts and socks) 

❖ Playing kit (shirt, shorts and socks) and training kit (shirt, shorts and socks) for over 18s

 

The Player (Parent/Care Giver) agrees to:
