Safeguarding Children
Palace For Life acknowledges its duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of all who come into contact with the Foundation.
Crystal Palace Football Club and Palace for Life Foundation are firmly committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all individuals we come into contact with. It is a fundamental part of the culture of the club and Foundation, and we have a dedicated team of safeguarding professionals in place to facilitate this.
Palace for Life works in partnership with a number of agencies that are specialists in a particular field such as education, mental health and law enforcement. Those partnerships complement activities being delivered, but also ensure that risk is better managed by understanding potential issues of a particular group.
All staff have received safeguarding training which is refreshed regularly. All staff and sessional coaches also undertake an enhanced DBS check.
We actively encourage the reporting of any concerns and recognise and support the need for fair and proportionate investigations into any allegation of poor practice or abuse.
Should you need to get in contact with a member of the safeguarding team, please use the button on the right. Please note, this mailbox will only be monitored during working hours (9am-5pm, Monday to Friday).
