Safeguarding at Razor FC – Important Information for All Parents and Carers

The safety and welfare of every child at Razor FC is our highest priority. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and we ask all parents, carers, coaches and club officials to report any concern, even where it may initially appear minor.

A safeguarding concern should be reported if you are worried about:

• The safety, welfare or wellbeing of a child
• The conduct of a coach, volunteer, parent, spectator or player
• Bullying, discrimination, harassment or inappropriate language
• Inappropriate physical contact, messages or online communication
• Possible abuse, neglect or exploitation
• Any situation in which a child may have been placed at risk

Concerns can be reported by telephone or email. Please provide as much factual information as possible, including what happened, when it happened, who was involved and whether there is an immediate risk to a child.

Every report will be taken seriously, treated in the strictest confidence and investigated appropriately. Information will only be shared with those who need to know in order to protect the child and meet the club’s safeguarding obligations.
