Child Protection
(a) The FA Child Protection Policy Statement as adopted by Fife Rangers FC
Every child or young person, defined, as any person under the age of 18, who plays or participates in
football should be able to take part in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from
abuse.
This is the responsibility of every adult involved in football.
The Football Association recognises its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and
young people by protecting them from physical, sexual or emotional harm and from neglect or
bullying. It is determined to meet its obligation to ensure that those clubs and organisations providing
football opportunities for children and young people do so, to the highest possible standard of care.
(Appendix 1 Football Association Regulation)
These procedures apply to anyone in football whether in a paid or voluntary capacity. For example,
volunteers in clubs, referees, and club officials, helpers on club tours, football coaches and medical
staff.
The football association will consider, having taken advice, whether anyone who has a previous
criminal conviction or caution for offences related to the abuse of children or young people, violence
or any sexual offences should be excluded from working with children and young people. This
position is re-enforced by UK legislation and guidance.
