"Swiss Valley Rangers Football Club is committed to the
Football Association's Policy on Child Protection. We will
create and preserve the safest possible environment for
children to participate in football activity.
We encourage positive comment and support from coaches,
parents and supporters, and strongly discourage criticism of
players and officials.
We accept that children's welfare is paramount and all
children, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender,
language, racial origin, religious beliefs or sexual identity,
have the right to protection from abuse. All suspicions and
allegations of abuse will be taken seriously and responded to
swiftly and appropriately."
A full copy of the Club's policy document is available on

Swiss Valley Rangers have in addition adopted the FA's
Child Protection Policy, and implemented the advice in the FA
Child Protection Procedures & Practices booklet.

community and the trust placed in the Club by parents who have
enrolled their children as members of the Club.
The Club's Child Protection Policy seeks to support the
children in ways that will foster confidence and security
whenever they are participating in Club activities.

dropping-off and collection of children at training and
matches should be drawn to the attention of both
Managers/Coaches and the children).

must refer the matter to the Club Child Protection Officer(s).
- Any child who has an individual concern should speak to any member of
the committee or the Club Child Protection Officer(s) in the first instance.
- A record of all referrals and the resulting action that is taken will be
maintained by the Club.
- This record will be available for reference at any time.
- All Managers/Coaches will undergo Child Protection Training.
