Player Welfare at Cookham Dean Football Club 

Every child and young person who plays football should be able to participate in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from abuse. This is the responsibility of every adult involved in football. 
 
Cookham Dean Football Club recognises its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people by protecting them from physical, sexual or emotional harm and from neglect or bullying. Our Club is determined to meet its obligation to ensure it provides football opportunities for children and young people to the highest possible standard of care. Clear practices and procedures are in place to ensure that everyone knows exactly what is expected of them in relation to the protection of children and young people within our sport. 
 
Each Coach, Player, Club Official and Parent are asked to sign a Code of Conduct which outlines the standard of behaviour we expect from all of those associated with our Club. 
Additionally, in 2020 CDFC have signed the Kick It Out Charter as we aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all of our current players, Parents/Guardians as well as those looking to join our Club. 
 
In activities we will not discriminate or treat anyone less favourably on the grounds of age, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marital status, race nationality, ethnic origin, colour, religion/belief, ability or disability. We will not tolerate harassment, bullying, abuse or victimisation of any kind and will assure the correct reporting procedures are actioned if any of the mentioned does occur under our supervision. We are committed to taking action where inequalities exist.
