Health and Safety
Health and Safety Providing a healthy and safe environment is an important part of the Club’s culture. As such, a first aid kit is provided in gear bags supplied to coaches at the beginning of the season. The first-aid kit is required to be carried to all training sessions and games. There are factors outside of the Club’s control that can impact the safety of our members.
So in addition to the first-aid kit we recommend the following be kept in mind: -The football pitch should be checked for obvious dangers such as broken glass, cans or rubbish which is subsequently removed and disposed of safely -Check the goalposts are stable and secure -Know the location of the football pitch in case emergency services need to be called If any health and safety concerns are discovered members or parents should feel able to report them to the Club Official.
