MISSION STATEMENT • It is our intention to provide a framework for the development of children’s football at all age groups from under 6 to under 16, regardless of ability or gender. • We will ensure that the environment is safe and that the children are free from physical or mental abuse. • We will ensure that communication with either the children or the parent’s is two way and that a forum is created that allows the members to ask questions of the committee and are provided with answers. • We will ensure that our coaches are trained to minimum standards of behavioural and technical ability in such a way that this can be passed onto the children. • We will ensure fair play and will adopt the rules and regulations of the local and national regulatory bodies.

16. Welfare

17. What does it mean? • We are committed to ensuring that all children who participate in football in Buckley do so in a fun, safe and positive environment. • The UK Government describes "Safeguarding Children" as the process for protecting children from abuse or neglect, preventing impairment of their health and development, and ensuring they are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care that enables children to have optimum life chances and enter adulthood successfully. • Safeguarding therefore goes beyond the notion of child-protection as it is a more all-encompassing approach to identifying and addressing the needs of children.

18. How you can help • Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and the welfare of children should be considered paramount at all times. • Through increasing awareness and taking positive action, our aim is to get everyone onside to ensure football is a fun, safe and positive experience for all involved. • Should you have any concerns about the behaviour or actions of anyone towards a child or a vulnerable person, whether within or outside the football setting, it is vital that you act on upon those concerns.

19. Our Safeguarding Policy • We all have a responsibility to ensure that policies and best practice are well promoted and that everyone understands their duty of care towards the children • Everyone has to have a disclosure certificate • Everyone must attend the Safeguarding workshops operated by the FAW
