Welfare and Wellbeing

We believe that all adults working within the club, in any capacity, have a duty and responsibility to safeguard children and young people. We strive to do this by applying policies, procedures, and best practices to promote the welfare of those who engage in activities with the club. This allows everyone to enjoy any club activities in a safe and inclusive environment.

We believe everyone who comes into contact with children and families has a role to play. Adults who work with children and young people are placed in a position of trust which carries authority, status, power and, most importantly, responsibility. So, we strive to ensure all adults are positive role models who display high moral and ethical standards for the children they work with.

We recognise that parents and carers often place trust in us to take care of their children; whether at a young Seagulls activity, a Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation event or session, an academy tour or attending a game at any of our venues. As such, we embrace the legal and moral responsibilities we hold for the safety and welfare of children.

The activities of the foundation serve our communities and promote the benefits of health, participation and wellbeing to children and young people in local communities.
