The Club Safeguarding Officer (CSO) is the first point of contact for all safeguarding issues within the club. They are the main point of contact for all children and adults to report concerns and disclosures, handling concerns calmly and sensitively in line with the England Netball Reporting a Safeguarding Concern Procedures. Within their Club they have the lead responsibility for safeguarding the young people or adults at risk in their club. They have been appointed by their club to lead on educating and advising the club members on safeguarding
matters; ensuring that clubs are safe places for young people or adults at risk to play netball. The CSO should not hold the role of Club Chairperson or Head Coach. This is to prevent a conflict of interest when concerns are raised.
