England Hockey has developed policies, procedures and systems to manage concerns or allegations of poor practice and abuse against young people. England Hockey will always work in accordance with procedures set out.

It is not the club’s responsibility to decide if a child is being abused or poor practice has occurred. Any concerns or allegations will be managed by England Hockey, with the club’s full cooperation and assistance.

However, all of us have a duty of care to be vigilant and respond appropriately to suspicions of poor practice, abuse or bullying.

It is your responsibility to report your concerns.
