Hethersett Athletic has adopted the Norfolk Football Association Child Protection Policy which is set-out below.

Every child or young person who plays or participates in football should be able to take part in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from abuse. This is the responsibility of every adult involved in football.

Hethersett Athletic recognises its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people by protecting them from physical, sexual or emotional harm and from neglect or bullying.

Hethersett Athletic is determined to provide football opportunities for children and young people to the highest possible standard of care.

These procedures apply to everyone in the club including club officials, managers, coaches and volunteers.

Hethersett Athletic will consider, having taken advice, whether anyone who has a previous criminal conviction or caution for offences related to the abuse of children or young people, violence or sexual offences should be excluded from working with children or young people. This position is re-inforced by U.K legislation and guidance.
