Safeguarding is Everyone’s Responsibility

The Club’s Safeguarding Policy document can be found in the Policies section of the website. FA guidelines can be found on the FA website. As a FA Charter Standard Club our policies and procedures are regularly checked by the Middlesex FA.

Whistleblowing
Whistleblowing in a safeguarding context means revealing and raising concerns over misconduct or malpractice within an organisation, or within an independent structure associated with it.
It can be used as an early-warning system or when it’s recognised that appropriate actions have not been taken. Any adult or young person with concerns about a colleague’s conduct towards a child or young person can also use whistleblowing by calling 0800 1691863 and asking for the The FA’s safeguarding team or via email to: safeguarding@thefa.com
