Brighton & Hove Albion

Safeguarding Policy

The Club is committed to safeguarding and ensuring the protection of children, young people and adults at risk, and recognises both its moral and legal responsibility to do so. Our aim is to ensure that best practise safeguarding procedures are embedded in every element of the Club's work to ensure the welfare and well-being of all children, young people and adults at risk who engage in activities with the Club.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and all adults working within the Club have a duty to ensure the welfare of children and young adults.

Adults who work with children and young people are placed in a position of trust. As such, the Club sets out its commitments within openly communicated policy statements to ensure that we are providing a safe and inclusive environment.

The club accepts that we are required to fulfil a duty of care, which means that we must do everything that can be reasonably expected of us to help safeguard and protect people from harm, and to act when we suspect that someone is being harmed or is at risk of harm.

The attached policies set out our specific policy commitments towards the children, young people and vulnerable adults in our care:
