Sports Council Introduction
Child Protection Policy
Perth and Kinross Sports Council have decided to implement to
following Child Protection Policy:
As of this date Perth and Kinross Sports Council will require all
affiliated clubs and associations, who have members under the age
of 18 years, to have in place or work towards a valid Child
Protection Policy. As of 2009/10 onwards only clubs and
associations with a Child Protection Policy will be able
to affiliate to Perth and Kinross Sports Council.
What does this mean?
If your club currently has members under the age of 18, or if
your club could potentially have members under the age of 18, you
must have a Child Protection Policy.
What do I have to do?
- Every club should have a child protection
co-ordinator.
- The club committee must outline a Child Protection Policy
and Code of Conduct.
- There must be a procedure in place to report and respond
to concerns regarding the welfare of a child.
- The club must have a disciplinary procedure for managing
complaints and concerns.
- Recruitment procedures will include a Disclosure Scotland
Check.
- Child protection training will be offered to all.
