• Ensuring all coaches, officials, and volunteers hold a valid Blue Card and receive regular safeguarding training.

• Promoting a culture where concerns can be raised safely, listened to, and acted upon.

• Taking all concerns about child safety seriously and responding in line with best practice and legal requirements.
