Code of Conduct
Garden Village Juniors have adopted the Code of Conduct produced by the Football Association of Wales.
FOOTBALL CODE OF CONDUCT
The FAW Code of Conduct and Good Practice sets standards for clubs, coaches,
and parents involved in football. It has been developed to improve standards of good
practice and protect the welfare and wellbeing of all those involved in the game,
particularly young players themselves.
Parents
Encourage your child to play by the laws of the game
Avoid pressurising players about winning or losing
Support and encourage all players, including the opposition
Never publicly criticise your child or other players
Do not question decisions made by the match officials
Players
Show respect and fair play to your opponents
Play within the rules of the game
Encourage, support and co-operate with your team-mates
Respect the officials and accept all decisions without question
Coaches
Give all players, whatever their ability, the chance to play.
Always pursue fair play.
Accept that striving to win is more important that winning itself.
Ensure that coaching sessions are fun, well structured and focus on developing skill,
decision-making and understanding of the game.
Additional Good Practice for all Adults in Football
(Including Match Officials, Medical Staff and Volunteers)
Be aware of the FAW Welfare Policy and your responsibilities.
Avoid spending time alone with young players and vulnerable adults away from others.
It is not appropriate to have an intimate relationship with a young player or a vulnerable adult.
Avoid any horseplay, sexually suggestive comments or language.
Never ridicule a child or vulnerable adult, or reduce them to tears.
Never do things of a personal nature for a child or a vulnerable adult that they can do for themselves.
Never allow allegations made by a child or a vulnerable adult to go unchallenged, unrecorded or not acted upon.
WHO TO CONTACT
If you suspect abuse could be taking place you should contact your nominated Club Welfare Officer (Alan Shepherd) or a Welfare Officer appointed by the FAW Area Association to which your club is registered.
If you are unsure who these persons are, or if you wish to speak directly to an expert for advice then contact the NSPCC Helpline.
It is not your responsibility to decide whether abuse is taking place but it is your responsibility to act if you have any concerns.
