Safeguarding Lacrosse Standards

England Lacrosse, and all affiliated clubs and organisations, have an ongoing responsibility to ensure that all under 18-year-olds are kept safe whilst participating in lacrosse. It is important that young people involved in our sport can enjoy lacrosse in a welcoming, positive, and safe environment.  

England Lacrosse requests that all clubs commit to these minimum standards on an annual basis. A continual commitment to these standards ensures that new and existing club volunteers are up to date in an ever-changing safeguarding and welfare environment.  

The minimum ‘Call to Action’ requirements are detailed below, along with documents and guidance to help ensure clubs are compliant. We ask Clubs to complete the self-assessment honestly. It is ok to answer ‘no’ to any standard your club does not currently meet- this can help us to identify where you may require support.
