AFC Safeguarding Policy (Taken from FA Handbook 2019)

The AFC fully supports the FA Safeguarding Policies for children under 18 and adults at risk, for all AFC participants.  We are all required to respect and abide by the Policies, from Officers, Club Members and Officials, and Referees, to Players and Supporters.  The policies emphasise the need for being inclusive and providing a safe and positive experience for every child and adult participant involved in football and they protect and preserve the needs and rights of all such participants within football.  They are set out in the following extracts from the FA Handbook.
