Reporting a safeguarding concern

How anyone at the club, parents and players included, tells the safeguarding lead about a worry, and what happens next.

For coaches, families, players, club admins

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. If something worries you about a child's safety or wellbeing, tell the club's safeguarding lead. You don't need to be sure.

1. Open More, then Report a safeguarding concern.
2. Choose what kind of concern it is, and say in a sentence what it's about.
3. Say what happened in your own words, and any words the child used. Add when and where, if you know.
4. Say who it's about, what you've done so far and whether the child's parents have been told.
5. Press Send to the safeguarding lead.

You get a reference, and Concerns you've raised shows when the lead has picked it up. The lead is alerted in the app, by email and on their phone; none of those alerts say what the concern is about.
