How Parents can Help

The Club believes that Parents play a very important role in their child’s development in sport. To that end, the Club would ask all parents to contribute to the Junior section of the Club and their child’s participation in sport. In particular the club expects all parents to:

1. Encourage but not force an unwilling child to participate in sport or in the Club.

2. Recognise that children’s enjoyment in sport and as a member of this Club is paramount.

3. Emphasise enjoyment and fun; praise and reinforce effort and improvement.

4. Promote and teach fair play by setting a good example.

5. Teach their child that effort and teamwork are as important as winning.

6. Help their child to set realistic goals, improve their skills and develop a positive sporting attitude.

7. Never ridicule or shout at any child for making a mistake or losing a competition.

8. Acknowledge and applaud good play by all players including opposing players; set an example by being friendly towards the opposing team, its supporters and parents.

9. Publicly accept an official’s judgment and never question his/her honesty or integrity.

10. Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children’s sporting activities.

11. Recognise the importance and value of coaches and others within the Club who give their time, expertise and resources to provide guidance for their child.

12. Offer whatever assistance they can to the running of the junior Club and support the Club and their child where possible ie by providing transport to training/competitions; watching matches and training sessions; making sure that their child has appropriate clothing and equipment; supporting fund raising and social events.

13. Accept the responsibility for supervision of their child up to scheduled time for sessions, matches, etc.

14. Ensure that no child is left, waiting unsupervised after sessions are over.

15. Provide a passport size photograph of each child to be used to create a membership card as and when required.

Child Protection Policy and Procedures

The General Committee and members of Limavady Cricket and Football Club are committed to good practice which protects children from harm. Members, Coaches, Officials and voluntary Helpers accept and recognize their responsibility under the Children (NI) Order 1995 to provide an environment which promotes the safety of the Young Person at all times. In order to safeguard the young people in our care we will:

1. Develop an awareness of the issues which may lead to children being harmed.

2. Create an open environment, by identifying a ‘Contact Person’ to whom the children can turn if they need to talk. Harry Faulkner will be the ‘Contact Person’ for the Mini/Maxi group at Limavady Cricket and Football Club.

3. Adopt child centered and democratic coaching styles.

4. Adopt child protection guidelines through codes of conduct for players and all adults working in the club. Adult workers include coaches, parents, leaders and volunteers.

5. Ensure careful recruitment, selection and management procedures.

6. Ensure complaints and disciplinary procedures are included in our constitution.

7. Share information about concerns with children and parents and others who need to know.

8. Provide information as required o management committees.

9. Be involved in training made available through the various agencies, and strengthen links with these agencies.

10. Follow Governing Body guidelines on good practice for coaches.

11. Keep the Child Protection Policy under regular review.
