The charity is particularly aware of the risks associated with running sports teams consisting of individuals of different ages and genders, some of whom have a Disability, meaning they fall within the classification of at-risk under any Safeguarding and Welfare policy. The charity has developed a robust Policy and has made a conscious effort to ensure adequate safeguarding training and awareness of coaches and athletes. Trustees are also made aware of these policies.
Our Founder Rick Rodgers was co-opted onto the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee for the International All-star Federation to be the voice of Disabled people in the All-star community.
There has been a relationship change with two of our trustees who now own property together and live as a couple, this year they had a baby which is why there was a reduction in operational activity.
