Legal
Safeguarding policy
The welfare of every player, and in particular of every player under 18, takes precedence over sporting, commercial and financial considerations without exception.
Draft for review. This text is a working draft prepared for illustration and must be reviewed and finalised by qualified legal counsel in each relevant jurisdiction before publication.
Guardian involvement
No assessment, development activity or communication involving a player under 18 takes place without the documented consent of a parent or legal guardian, who is copied on correspondence and may attend sessions.
Anonymised records
Scouting and assessment material relating to minors is anonymised: public and investor-facing materials never display the name, image, precise date of birth, school or address of a player under 18.
Access to identifiable records is limited to named staff with a defined operational need, under confidentiality obligations.
Staff, vetting and conduct
Staff and partners working directly with players are subject to background checks where legally available, safeguarding training, and a code of conduct that prohibits one-to-one unsupervised contact with minors and any private messaging outside approved channels.
Reporting concerns
Players, families, staff and partners can raise a concern confidentially with the safeguarding lead. Reports are recorded, investigated without retaliation, and escalated to the competent authorities where required by law.
The safeguarding contact address will be published here before the platform goes live.
