Safeguarding

The facility provider and club/coach both have a legal and moral Duty of Care for young people. They must both take reasonable measures to ensure appropriate arrangements are in place.

Coaches working with young people should have received training in safeguarding.

Schools/Facilities may wish to ask a coach direct questions around how they would deal with a safeguarding incident.
