A Child Protection Policy is a club or a team publicly stating their intention to safeguard children. The objective of creating a safe and positive football environment will be transparent and outline clearly the acceptable and unacceptable behaviours by providing principles, standards and guidelines for all to follow. Having a working Child Protection Policy empowers both players and adults and gives them all the responsibility for looking out for themselves, each other and their friends.
