South Woodham Ferrers United Football Club is committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all its members so they can participate in football in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at the Club.

If bullying does occur, all club members or parents should be able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively – “we are a TELLING club”. This means that anyone who knows that bullying is happening is expected to tell the Club Welfare Officer or any Committee Member.

What is bullying?

It is the use of aggression with the intention of hurting another person. Bullying results in pain and distress to the victim.
