We acknowledge that every child or young person who plays or participates in football should be able to take part in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from poor practice and abuse. Actonians Ladies Football Club recognises that this is the responsibility of every adult involved in our club.

All current Club members working in eligible roles, with children and young people - such as managers and coaches are required to hold an in-date FA accepted Enhanced CRC with Barring List check as part of responsible recruitment practice.

Don't Hesitate - Escalate

If you have a concern that a child is being harmed, is at risk of harm or you receive a disclosure (intentionally or unintentionally) you MUST contact a member of the Actonians safeguarding team as quickly as possible.

If a member of the team is not available or contactable, please call Middlesex FA on 0208 515 1919 or straight to the Police in an emergency.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and if you are worried about a child it is important that you report your concerns – no action is not an option.
