Morpeth Town Football Club is aware of its roles and responsibilities in relation to safeguarding, as we continue to facilitate hundreds of young footballers taking part in structured, team environments and being given the chance to enjoy the sport.
We view these policies and processes as vital in the context of our football club, with a range of junior initiatives in place in our 3-star FA rated junior section and on first team match days for our adult sides, we insist on all Under-14’s being accompanied by a responsible adult. With people of responsibility available on match days, we are able to deliver on our responsibilities in these matters.
