Child Supervision

Back to Main KB Page

The safety of our players is paramount including before, during and after training and games. There are several child protection and supervision laws and regulations that the club must abide by. The comments in this section aim is to give you some common-sense tips and make you better aware of what is expected of a coach or manager.

Ideally, you should avoid direct and unsupervised contact with persons under the age of 18 years always. Another adult should always be present.

  • Always have at least one parent or the manager at training.
  • If a player’s parent is late collecting them at the end of training or after a match, ask the manager or a parent to stay with you and the player until the child is collected by a parent or guardian
  • If you have any concerns you should seek out the information on the laws and regulations regarding contact with children. The committee will assist you with this.
