England Hockey believes that all young people have the right to be safe and enjoy their involvement in hockey and is committed to promoting the welfare of all young people in our sport to protect them from harm alongside the hockey family. In this instance, a young person is defined as anyone under the age of 18. To do this, England Hockey have created a Safeguarding Young People Policy and are actively aiding hockey club members and associations in adopting and implementing their own policy. Safeguarding advice and support is also provided through the England Hockey Ethics and Welfare Team.
England Hockey have created a comprehensive toolkit to support you in your role as a welfare officer.
