*BACKGROUND*

Children’s rights are protected by law internationally and within the UK. A child is defined as anyone who has not yet reached their 18th birthday. This means that as a 16 or 17 year old we have a duty to ensure you are kept safe. In football, we also understand that you may be ready to play in an Open-Aged (also known as ‘Adult’) football team. We want this to be the best experience it can be for you.


*IMPORTANT*

To raise a safeguarding concern please speak to the HFA County DSO, Danielle Harris:-

*IMPORTANT* Please share this information with any team mates who fall into this 16-17 age category.
