THE F.A CHILD PROTECTION POLICY STATEMENT
Every child or young person, defined as any person under the age of 18, who plays or participates in football should be able to take part in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from abuse. This is the responsibility of every adult involved in football. The Football Association recognises its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people by protecting them from physical, sexual or emotional harm and from neglect or bullying. It is determined to meet its obligation to ensure that those clubs and organisations providing football opportunities for children and young people do so, to the highest possible standard of care. These procedures apply to anyone in football whether in a paid or voluntary capacity. For example, volunteers in clubs, referees, club officials, helpers on club tours, football coaches and medical staff. The Football Association will consider, having taken advice, whether anyone who has a previous criminal conviction or caution for offences related to the abuse of children or young people, violence or any sexual offences should be excluded from working with children and young people. This position is reinforced by U.K. legislation and guidance. |
It is natural that winning constitutes a basic concern for coaches. This code is not intended to conflict with that. However, the code calls for coaches to disassociate themselves from a “win-at-all-costs” attitude. Increased responsibility is requested from coaches involved in coaching young people. The health, safety, welfare, and moral education of young people are a first priority, before the achievement or the reputation of the club, coach, or parent. Set out below is The F.A. Coaches Association Code of Conduct (which reflects the standards expressed by the National Coaching Foundation and the National Association of Sports Coaches), which forms the benchmark for all involved in coaching: 1. Coaches must respect the rights, dignity, and worth of each and every person and treat each equally within the context of the sport. 2. Coaches must place the well-being and safety of each player above all other considerations, including the development of performance 3. Coaches must adhere to all guidelines laid down by governing bodies 4. Coaches must develop an appropriate working relationship with each player based on mutual trust and respect. 5. Coaches must not exert undue influence to obtain personal benefit or reward 6. Coaches must encourage and guide players to accept responsibility for their own behaviour and performance 7. Coaches must ensure that the activities they direct or advocate are appropriate for the age, maturity, experience, and ability of players. 8. Coaches should, at the outset, clarify with the players (and, where appropriate, parent) exactly what is expected of them and also what they are entitled to expect from their coach. 9. Coaches must always promote the positive aspects of the sport (e.g. fair play) and never condone violations of the Laws of the Game, behaviour contrary to the spirit of the Laws of the Game or relevant rules and regulations. 10. Coaches must consistently display high standards of behaviour and appearance. 11. Coaches must not use or tolerate inappropriate language |
