CHILD
WELFARE AT CRAWLEY
RFC
In
2002 Crawley RFC were very fortunate to be able to appoint Mrs Sue Keshavarz as the first
qualified Club Child Welfare Officer in
Sussex.
Sue is approved by the RFU to process Criminal Record Bureaux checks. Under Sue’s Guidance the Club has
instigated and published a “Child Protection
Policy”.
As
part of our Child Protection policy the Club
has published guidelines for "Youth
Photography" which are
actively enforced.
All Club coaches will have CRB clearance forms submitted
for approval by the end of September 2003. All new coaches are required to submit CRB clearance
forms.
The
Club has published and issued to all
members involved with young persons a “Guidelines for Child Protection at Crawley
Rugby Club” and “Code of Conduct for Team Coaches and
Managers”.
The
Club has a “Good
Parents Code” which is displayed in the Clubhouse and includes in youth
section membership packs.
