If all alternatives have been exhausted and an adult must transport a child, there are a number of safety measures that should be put in place to minimise the risk:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Establish the suitability of any driver. The driver like all coaches\/volunteers who have unsupervised access to children, should have completed a DBS check via the FAW and be in receipt of an FAW number and safeguarding scheme card.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parents\/carers should be informed of, and consent to transport arrangements, including the person who will be transporting their child, the reasons why and how long the journey will take.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A person other than the planned driver should talk to the child about transport arrangements to check they are comfortable with the transport plans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organisations must ensure drivers representing the club have valid car insurance, MOT and driving licence prior to carrying any passengers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The driver must check with their own insurance company if they want to use their car as part of their paid\/volunteer role.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organisations should try to ensure there is more than one child in the car.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When transporting children after a match or training session personnel should alternate which child is dropped off last. Ideally two children would be dropped off at an agreed point such as one of their family homes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The driver should have a point of contact and mobile phone in case of an emergency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that children are aware of their rights to be safe and that they have someone to turn to or report any concerns they may have. If a culture of safety is created within the club then the child is more likely to talk to another person if they are feeling uncomfortable about a situation. Please ensure that the identity and role of the Club Safeguarding Officer is publicised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"pb-5 wp-block-gbold-responsive-spacer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Late Collections<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Late collections can present clubs and coaches with particular difficulties.
