Academy Safeguarding Policy
While any safeguarding concern should be raised with the club safeguarding via hello@pontypriddunited.co.uk in the first instance, we recognise that this may not always be possible or appropriate. Below are the contact details for other partners with whom safeguarding concerns in relation to “the Company” can be discussed:
Online Safety
It is important that internet safety and security messages are re-enforced during this time when we are expecting young people to be online more often. They may also be increasing their usage on devices during their own free time during this social distancing period. It is important that both players and parents are aware of the help and support available should they be concerned about something they have seen or experienced online.
