Guidance for parents & carers
It is essential that parents/carers have a general awareness of good practice and know what questions to ask of club personnel when looking for a suitable sporting environment for their child.
What you should ask:
About Coaches
- Are they qualified?
- Do they have access to appropriate training?
- Are they suitable to work with children and young people?
- Are they adequately insured?
- What is the player/coach ratio?
About the club
- Who do I tell if my child takes medication?
- What happens if my child is involved in away fixtures?
- Does the club have a child protection policy?
- Does the club have a code of conduct?
- What is the clubs policy on health and safety?
