FAQ’s

The main role of the Welfare Officer is to ensure the safety & welfare of all the children who attend the club. It also covers the safety & welfare of all others at the club, as well as looking at ways to improve communication and other activities at the club.

If you have a general concern please make a note of the main points of your concern and report them to Gill.

If your concern is regarding a specific incident please make a note of the date and time it occurred and report it as soon as possible. Please also make a note of the key facts relating to the incident

If you are not sure about whether to report a concern or not we advise that you do report it, it is important that the club is aware of your concerns even if you are unsure about them. We will, of course, treat all reports with the utmost discretion and confidentiality.

If for any reason you do not wish to raise your concern with Gill, please contact Marion Flynn (Club secretary) at marionflynn44@btinternet.com
