5. Travel, Trips and Tournaments - Advice

Travelling to away games and having trips away from home should be both safe and fun for children (which includes all those aged under 18). It should be a chance for all children to grow in confidence, self-esteem, and skills.

Parents and carers will often worry when their children are away but careful planning and preparation should help to ease those worries and demonstrate that you have taken into account the various needs of their children and the potential dangers of a trip away.

To help you organise trips and travelling the following Safeguarding Children Guidelines have been developed.
