Safe Guarding Officer:
It has been brought to our attention from Herts County, that every club in every sport must have a SAFE GAURDING OFFICER by 2026. This has is being introduced for sports such as Football Rugby or Netball, but all sports must comply. The definition of safeguarding means protecting a person’s health, wellbeing and human rights, ensuring they live free from harm, abuse and neglect. It is a collective responsibility of individuals and organisations. The role of a Safeguarding Officer is for managing and reporting concerns within an organisation, promoting their well-being and ensuring a safe environment. We cannot ignore this, so if you are interested in being that person, please let a committee member know.
