Hull Sporting Club adopts and enforces England Football’s Safeguarding Declaration for Youth Football as part of its commitment to protecting every child and young person participating in football.
This framework outlines the club’s safeguarding responsibilities, including welfare officer visibility, safeguarding policy communication, accurate club official registration, DBS compliance, mandatory safeguarding training, safeguarding reporting procedures, and minimum supervision standards for youth activities.
The declaration reinforces Hull Sporting Club’s commitment to creating a child-centred, safe, accountable, and supportive football environment for all youth players, academy participants, parents, coaches, staff, volunteers, and officials.
Where younger participation programmes are delivered, the club will also apply the additional safeguarding controls required for early-age football activity.
