We recognise that maintaining safety is a very important part of coaches’ responsibilities. Players and parents can also assist coaches by thinking carefully about their activities, particularly before and after sessions. BRCC also has a policy of Accident Reporting and forms are kept in the clubhouse so that details of accidents are logged.
Child Protection
BRCC takes the issue of Child Protection seriously and has appointed Child Protection Officers (Andrew Jennings & Charlie Jones) to co-ordinate good practice and to provide coaches with information and training opportunities. The Section endorses the policies as produced by the ECB and the NSPCC that includes:
1. Respecting the rights, dignity and worth of all children and to treat everyone with equality.
2. Placing the well-being and safety of the player above the development of performance.
3. Working with young people in a public and open environment.
4. Ensuring coaching activities are appropriate to the age, maturity and ability of the player.
5. Promoting the positive aspects of sport and never to condone rule violation, bad sportsmanship, or the use of prohibited substances.
6. Coaches maintaining a consistently high standard of personal behaviour.
7. Only criticising youngsters in a constructive and friendly fashion.
8. Being aware of the needs, customs and cultural requirements of athletes with differing abilities or young people from different racial or religious backgrounds.
In general coaches will not:
a) Spend amounts of time alone with youngsters away from others.
b) Take youngsters alone on car journeys.
c) Take youngsters to their homes.
If parents or youngsters have any concerns, or wish for information on any of the issues raised above please contact Charlie Jones.
