Coaches
Coaches should all be appropriately skilled and have had DBS checks to help you play the best netball you can. For more information on what we expect from our Coaches here:
I’m a netball Coach
Volunteers
Volunteers working at the club will have been trained and DBS checked. Clubs with under 18 players or adults at risk should have a Safeguarding or Welfare Officer and policies in place to make sure people are safe. You could consider volunteering in netball yourself – more info here: England Netball | Volunteering(Links to EN Website, needs to be confluence)
Communication
The best clubs communicate with you as much as possible, seek the views of players and regularly share information about safeguarding issues. Clubs should encourage people from all backgrounds to take part.
Safety
England Netball has Safeguarding Policies for Children and Young People and Adults, a Reporting Procedure and other Guidance, which helps clubs provide the best netball experience possible. Clubs must have their own safeguarding policy too. England Netball’ Safeguarding Policies and Documents can be found here: Safeguarding Policies and Documents |
