We want you to enjoy playing netball. We want you to feel safe and to have fun. Everyone at the club should make you feel safe, and if something bad happens, they should support you. There is more information below to help you.

The club will also train volunteers and conduct safeguarding checks. Your club should have a Safeguarding or Welfare Officer and rules in place to make sure you are safe. You could consider volunteering in netball yourself – more info here: England Netball | Volunteering(Links to EN Website, needs to be confluence)
Listening – the best clubs want to hear about what you like or don’t like. They might ask you what needs changing. Everyone’s ideas should be respected. Clubs should want people of all abilities to take part. If you need to speak to someone because you are unhappy, worried or have a complaint, you should be taken seriously.
Safety – England Netball has rules which help us all provide the best netball experience possible. These are called Safeguarding Adults at Risk in Netball Policy, Reporting Procedure and other Guidance. You can see these documents here: England Netball | Safeguarding Policies and Guidance(Links to EN Website, needs to be confluence)
