Safeguarding
At Riverview FC, safeguarding our players is paramount. We ensure every child enjoys a safe, positive, and inclusive environment, fully protecting their well-being.
Our Commitment to a Safe Environment
Riverview FC is entirely dedicated to creating a secure and supportive atmosphere for all participants. We rigorously adhere to The FA’s safeguarding policies and procedures, ensuring that all coaches, volunteers, and staff working with children hold up-to-date DBS checks and receive regular safeguarding training. Beyond this, we enforce clear Codes of Conduct for all members, promoting respect, appropriate behaviour, and a truly positive football experience both on and off the pitch.
Our Culture of Care
Safeguarding at Riverview FC extends beyond simply having policies in place; it’s an integral part of our daily club culture. We firmly believe that protecting our players is a shared responsibility among all coaches, volunteers, parents, and indeed the players themselves. We actively foster an environment of open communication where everyone feels comfortable, confident, and empowered to contribute to a safe space. Through ongoing awareness and training, we ensure that safeguarding best practices are understood and applied across all our activities, promoting positive relationships and a respectful environment for everyone involved.
