TRANSPORT TO TRAINING AND MATCHES The club would like to make it clear that the safe transport of players to and from matches (home and away) and training sessions is the parent/guardians' responsibility. Any arrangements you may make are at your own risk, regardless of who takes your child to club events. New Legislation - Vetting and Barring Scheme For clarification. Under the new Vetting and Barring Scheme which comes in to effect next year, the scope of who is defined as a volunteer will be widened, and any person designated a volunteer within the legislation will require to undertake an enhanced CRB check and be registered. (For detailed information, click here). Having consulted with the scheme help line, it is clear that any arrangement made between parents regarding sharing lifts to matches or training etc. is considered to be a private arrangement and so parents in this instance are not designated as volunteers and so not subject to a requirement for checks. The statement above in 'Transport to Training and Matches' remains true. If however the Club was to ask any individual to voluntarily undertake to transport children for any reason, then by that fact the individual may only do so if having undertaken an enhanced CRB check and registered with the scheme. It is important therefore, that in preparation for the new legislation coming in to effect, any party who wishes to be available as a voluntary driver in this context should take the necessary steps now to be identified and to undertake the advanced CRB check. Anyone to whom this applies should contact Hugh Swan. Club Welfare Officer Hugh Swan is now the registered Club Welfare Officer for MJFC. But what does a Welfare Officer do?
