Safeguarding

Every child deserves to enjoy football in a fun and safe environment. Here’s how we look after the children in our care.

Our commitments

Safe hands, every session

Awarded after an FA health check covering quality coaching, Respect and child protection. We were named Charter Standard Club of the Year in 2015.

We follow The FA’s Respect programme, with codes of conduct for players, parents, coaches and spectators.

Coaches and volunteers working with children hold an enhanced DBS check.

Our registration form asks about any health problems so coaches can look after every child.

If you don’t want your child photographed, email Info@ahffc.org and we’ll make sure they aren’t.

We collect a second parent or guardian contact to use in an emergency if we can’t reach the primary contact.

Raise a concern

If you are worried about a child, speak to a coach or email the club in confidence. If a child is in immediate danger, call 999.

Contact our Club Welfare Officer in confidence at Info@ahffc.org.
