SHA Child Welfare

The county is working towards it's own Child Protection policy and has appointed a Child Welfare Officer, Dave Siddorn. Until we have developed our own policies SHA fully endorses and supports the practices and procedures contained in the England Hockey policy. This is available as a download from the England Hockey website.

For the time being, a few contacts and numbers for Child Welfare Issues.
