CHILD WELFARE
Child Welfare
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 an FA approved, enhanced DBS check and have completed FA Safeguarding Children Training. 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 Pippa 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.
Please scroll to the bottom of this page for details on Pitstone and Ivinghoe JFC's Child Welfare Policy (available as a downloadable PDF).
