Safeguarding

Bristol City Robins Foundation is committed to ensure that every individual associated with the organisation is safe and secure to participate in a broad spectrum of activities relating to football.

We accept that it is our responsibility to assist in the welfare of children and young people and to safeguard them from poor practice, abuse, and bullying.

All individuals associated to the Robins Foundation have a role and responsibility to help ensure the safety and welfare of children, young people, and adults at risk.

All staff are aware of the safeguarding policies and where required, are DBS checked. Training is delivered annually and where appropriate, to ensure all staff are up to date with the current guidance.

Our safeguarding referrals are managed on a secure central portal (MyConcern). When working with other partners and organisations, we will work alongside their own safeguarding protocols and procedures.
