3.Players who are being bullied may show changes in behaviour, such as becoming shy and nervous, feigning illness, missing training and/or games.
4.Players must be encouraged to report bullying to team managers or the Club Welfare Officer
5.The following steps will be taken when dealing with incidences of bullying:
a.If bullying is suspected or reported, the incident will be dealt with immediately by the team manager
b.A clear account of the incident will be recorded and, if not resolved by the team manager, will be dealt with by The Executive Committee.
