Child Protection Policy
TJFC acknowledges
its roles and responsibilities towards every child and young person who
has been entrusted to its care. TJFC subscribes to the Child Protection
Procedures and Practices contained in the Handbook published by
the Football Association in November 2000, and endorse and adopt the
Policy Statement contained in that document. It
quotes... "Every child or young
person who plays or participates in football should be able to take
part 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 obligations to ensure that those clubs and organisations
providing football opportunities for children and young people do so,
to the highest possible standards of care. (Appendix 1 - The Football
Association Regulation).
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 reinforced by U.K. legislation and
guidance."
In order to meet
the objectives set out above, TJFC has appointed a nominated Child
Welfare Officer, who will be the first point of contact in our aim to
work with football partners at a national and local level to ensure that
we deliver a quality service in the community.
The Child Welfare Officer has attended the
Football Association's 3-hour Child Protection and best practice -
Workshop, and will undertake further training with other members of the
club as appropriate. |
