Parents & Carers

Our children and young people rely on the support of their parents/carers in order for them to take part in football and as a club, we need that support also.

You are trusted and valued and we will seek to work with you to ensure that we are collectively doing the best we can for children and young people.

Please take the time to view our policies and procedures, increase your awareness and understanding of the internal and external support and advice that is available for you as a parent/carer or your child/young person and keep up to date with relevant child wellbeing and protection news.

Responding and reporting

At Rangers, we recognise the child’s rights to protection, as laid out in United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child, Article 19; protection from all forms of violence (physical or mental), abuse, neglect and mistreatment.

Our aim is to protect all children and young people from harm or risk of harm; we will safely recruit the people working with children and young people, train and support those individuals to adopt best practices to protect children and respond to all allegations of poor practice, misconduct or abuse of children.

Should you ever have cause for concern about the wellbeing of a child or young person under the age of 18 years, please contact the club Child Wellbeing & Protection Officer (details below).

If the matter is urgent and you are not able to make contact with our Child Wellbeing Officer, please contact Police Scotland 101 for support and advice.
