Largs Thistle Football Club (“the Club”) is committed to ensuring that all children and young people who participate in our football activities feel safe, valued, respected, and protected from harm.

We recognise our responsibility to promote the wellbeing of every child, and we follow Scottish FA (SFA) Child Wellbeing and Protection policies, Scottish Youth Football Association (SYFA) guidelines, and relevant Scottish legislation.

We believe that:

  • The welfare of children is paramount
  • All children have the right to protection from physical, emotional, sexual harm, and neglect
  • Children have the right to express their views and have them taken seriously

Everyone involved in our Club is responsible for supporting child wellbeing. We will take all appropriate steps to make sure we do so.
Yours in sport,

Alistair McMaster
