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.

Club are committed to good practice which protects children from
harm. Members, Coaches, Officials and voluntary Helpers accept

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.
