Child Protection - Child Protection/ Welfare Officer
Child Protection/ Welfare Officer (CWO)
Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new season @ Liverpool Collegiate.
Here are a few reminders to ensure the season is a happy and successful one.
My name is Angela Pender and I’m responsible for children’s welfare issues at the club. At Liverpool Collegiate we take the happiness of our players seriously, and would ask you to help the managers and coaches maintain the clubs ethos for fun, inclusiveness and fair play by being an active parent supporter. I would encourage all adults to set a good example when spectating, and applauding good play and effort on both sides.
It is important that all our parents and carers take time to read the clubs Codes of Practice and Safeguarding Policy. All these documents can be found on this website in the Procedures for the Welfare of Young People in Rugby Union.
You should also be able to see a list of who the volunteers are in the club, especially take note of the ones for your age group.
How Liverpool Collegiate ensures the club is safe.
1. Firstly the club has elected me as the Club Welfare Officer.
2. As the Welfare officer I am a member of the club’s executive committee and have a duty to ensure all club decisions give due regard to child welfare issues.
3. It is my role to ensure that everyone at the club understands and complies with the clubs Safeguarding Policies.
4. One of my key roles is to process all volunteers CRB’s in line with both RFU and Crb policy. Volunteers must have their RFU CRB before they can begin their role as Manager, Coach or Parent Helper within the club.
5. As required I will be in future organising child protection training sessions at the club. Everyone will be required to attend a briefing session in their first season as a volunteer. Where this has not been possible volunteers should complete one of the R.F.U. training courses. (This is will take place from next season)
6. All volunteers and parents should be familiar with and must comply with the club’s Codes of Practice. All these documents form part of the clubs Safeguarding Policy. This document is on the clubs website
This is an important document and I urge all parents to take a closer look.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A CONCERN
I’ll visit the club most Sunday's. You’ll either find me Moving between pitches or stationed in the clubhouse. Either way please do come and say hello, and have a chat. And remember if you have any child welfare concerns its part of my role to help resolve them and if I feel I can not answer you questions straight away, I will seek further guidance and get straight back to you.
You can contact me by e-mail via user7078@aol.com or by telephone on 07950283030
Good luck to all our teams!
