Safeguarding & Child Welfare

Safeguarding

 

Spencer Lynx follows recommended child safeguarding and best practice as laid down by our governing body, England Hockey. All coaches and managers have been DBS checked, and have undergone safeguarding training. 

 

All children are required to wear a mouthguard and shinpads for training and fixtures, and are not allowed to take part in the absence of this protective equipment.
