Safeguarding
Strensall Tigers FC is committed to following the FA's Codes of Conduct. These, along with our Club's Safeguarding Children Policy, can be found here.
Every one of our age-related coaches have a current Safeguarding Children certificate and are enhanced DBS checked. Each team also has a coach who is FA first aid trained, and at least one coach who has an FA coaching qualification.
The Club Welfare Officer, Vicky Parkinson, has two key responsibilities. These are:
1. To be clear about the clubs responsibilities when running activities for children and young people. This involves:​
• Ensuring these responsibilities are well understood by others
• Working with the Youth League Welfare Officer
• Working with the County FA (CFA) Welfare Officer and other CFA staff as appropriate, (e.g. CFA Disciplinary staff)
• Helping to develop best-practice processes and promoting The FA’s Respect Programme
2. To help club personnel understand what their ‘duty of care’ towards children and young people actually means and entails on a day-to-day basis.​This ensures you as a player, parent / carer have peace of mind in Strensall Tigers Football Club.
