Safeguarding
At EMMNA we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable environment for everyone involved in men’s and mixed netball — especially for young people and vulnerable adults.
We align with England Netball’s safeguarding policies and procedures and expect all clubs taking part in EMMNA competitions and events to do the same.
If your club has players who are under 18, the following minimum standards apply:
-
A UKCC Level 2 qualified coach with active England Netball affiliation
-
A designated Club Safeguarding Officer (CSO)
-
An up-to-date England Netball DBS check
-
A club safeguarding policy in place
