Child & Adult Welfare and Safeguarding 

If you have any Welfare or Safeguarding questions or concerns at any time, feel free to contact our Club Welfare Officers, Christina Palmer and Natalie Tardivel by email [email protected].
Safeguarding the children and young people of the Bailiwick of Guernsey and Alderney is everyone's responsibility. If you are a member of the public who has concerns about a child's welfare or safety, and if that child is in Guernsey or Alderney, as well as contacting our Safeguarding Officers you can also call the Multi Agency Support Hub (MASH) on 01481 223182. More information is available on the ISCP (Islands Safeguarding Children Partnership) Website 
iscp.gg
Anyone directly involved with children (under 18s) must undergo an Enhanced Criminal Records Check and also carry out mandatory FA training on Safeguarding Children and First Aid in Football, together with the FA Introduction to Coaching in Football. 
​Anyone directly involved with Adult players must have an Enhanced Criminal Records Check and complete a mandatory Adult Player Welfare Course.

Guernsey Football Association

The GFA issued a Guide to Safeguarding Reporting and a copy of the FA's Respect Guide on the use (or potential misuse) of photos and videos in the football environment.  At Rovers we take all these matters very seriously, and may take action if we observe any inappropriate action or behaviour at the club/Port Soif grounds, or generally have any concerns on the welfare of players.

See the below Safeguarding Reporting Guide and is included below for further details. The photo/video guide is attached above for reference

Other Resources

The FA and the Guernsey FA have websites which include further information relating to Safeguarding and related matters. Rovers as an affiliated club naturally follows all of the guidelines imposed by the football authorities.

Rather than repeat all of these matters on the Rovers website, we recommend you take a look at the websites of the two authorities noted above, particularly the areas covering safeguarding and training requirements.
