Safeguarding & Welfare

As we gear up for the new Broadlands Tigers season, we as a club need to make sure safeguarding is our number one priority.

Whether you’re a player, coach, or parent/carer, everyone has a role in creating a safe, supportive positive environment. It’s more than just following rules – it’s about protecting the well-being of our Tigers and ensuring that every player feels secure. By taking safeguarding seriously, we want to build a culture of respect, trust, and fairness both on and off the pitch.

Please remember that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. If you ever notice a concern, speak up. Raising an issue, no matter how small, will ensure the safety and well-being of all players be it at training or during matches.

Broadlands AFC agree to the FAW’s Parents, Guardians & Spectators Code of Conduct, which you can read here.
