Safeguarding children is about doing things the right way, doing things properly. It's about allowing children to enjoy the game without abuse of any kind. That means bullying, physical, emotional or sexual abuse and neglect.
The FA believes football can have a powerful positive influence on children. But that means everyone involved in football must take on the responsibility of looking after those children that want to play the game.
Should you have any queries or concerns regarding safeguarding children please contact Richard Hughes, County Welfare Officer on 0191 3872929 or email richard.hughes@durhamfa.com
