BYAFA Welfare Policy
Concerns of possible abuse occurring outside of BYAFA.
Anyone who becomes aware through their own observations, or those of another person, of possible abuse occurring at a young persons home or other setting should:
- Ensure the safety of the young person.
- Call an ambulance if medical attention is needed, and inform the medical staff of your concerns.
- Report your concerns to the Club Welfare Officer, who should seek advice from the BYAFA Welfare Officer, BAFA Child Protection Officer, the NSPCC or Social Services.
- Ensure it is made clear that it is a child protection issue if concerns are referred direct to the Social Services or Police
- Not contact parents without first seeking advice from the Social Services.
