Pitstone and Ivinghoe Junior Football Club place the utmost importance on the issue of child welfare. We believe that all children have the right to participate in their sport in a safe and enjoyable environment where they are protected from any form of abuse.

All of our coaches and managers have undertaken a Safeguarding workshop as part of their Level 1 Coaching Certificate and in addition we have a designated Child Welfare Officer, Pippa Tierney, who can be contacted via cwo@pandifootball.net . 

If you have any concerns at all, whether you are a player, parent, manager or friend, please do not hesitate to contact Alison  or one of the helplines listed below. You will be listened to very carefully and we will take immediate action to investigate any problems raised.
