If you have any questions about safeguarding and child welfare at the club, or if you as a junior section player or as an adult have a safeguarding concern, please contact me by telephone or email.

 

Concerns about safeguarding can sometimes just be a gut-feeling. If something makes you feel uncomfortable, that is the time to raise it.

All information will be treated according to the confidentiality protocols required by safeguarding principles.
