CHANGING FACILITIES added 10/11/2009 

Please note that it is the responsibility of Clubs who find themselves having no access to changing facilities to give visiting teams prior warning so that youth players may arrive already changed. Should a team arrive at a game and find that changing facilities are unavailable for whatever reason, it is the responsibility of the person managing the youth players to ensure that they find somewhere suitable to change.

DISCLOSURES

Self Dec Form

Now is a good time to get organised for next season. To fulfil your club’s legal obligations you need to check that anyone who is likely to be in a child care position eg coaching or managing has a disclosure IN THE NAME OF YOUR CLUB. People will tell you they have a disclosure for work etc but  may be unaware that they need to have one in your club’s name in order to comply with legal requirements.

This is easy just do the following: 

1. E mail Claire Fergusson at Scottish Hockey and ask him to email you a list of people who are disclosed for your club.  claire.fergusson@scottish-hockey.org.uk.
2. If  the names of those who are likely to be in a child care position do not appear on that list get them to fill out the attached form and return it to Scottish Hockey. N.B. You will need to change the red print which currently says East District to the name of your club.
3. If they require to fill out a full disclosure they will be sent this form by Scottish Hockey.

 If I can be of any further help please let me know.
