1. Introducing our Welfare Officers
Sutton Coldfield Hockey Club treats the welfare of all those playing at the club with utmost importance and have appointed Welfare Officers for the Juniors’, Ladies’ and Men’s sections. Everyone in hockey has a responsibility to safeguard and protect young people. The role of the Welfare Officer is primarily to promote good practice in their respective parts of our hockey club, to be a named point of contact for young people, parents/carers, coaches and volunteers, and to understand England Hockey’s reporting procedures in case a concern is raised. Members are encouraged to contact the relevant Welfare Officer if they have any concerns regarding safeguarding issues.
