Everyone Plays CIC is committed to protecting the welfare of every participant: adults at risk, under-18s, and the wider community.
The DSL is the first point of contact for any safeguarding concern. Reach them at safeguarding@everyoneplays.uk. For urgent child protection issues, contact the local authority or police first, then inform the DSL.
All programme leads, coaches, and volunteers with regular access to under-18s hold an Enhanced DBS check with barred-list check. Records held centrally by the DSL.
All active volunteers complete FA Safeguarding Children (or equivalent) before leading sessions, renewed every three years.
We exist to make football accessible to people who've been excluded from it. That commitment is not optional.
We welcome participation regardless of age, disability, gender, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, neurotype, body size, fitness level, or football experience.
First incident: a conversation. Second: a session ban. Third or anything serious: permanent removal with refund of any paid sessions.
Under-18s are welcome at designated sessions (Thursday 16+) with the following conditions:
By attending, you agree to:
Full refund available if you cancel your booking more than 24 hours before the session start time. Within 24 hours of kickoff, payment is locked without refund. If a session is cancelled by the organiser, all players receive a full automatic refund.
Contact us at info@plymouthkickabouts.uk and we will do our best to help.
A first aid kit is present at every session. At least one attendee per session (usually the programme lead) holds a current Introduction to First Aid in Football (IFAiF) certificate.
All injuries beyond minor knocks are logged in the incident register. Players are asked to disclose significant medical conditions at registration (asthma inhalers, heart conditions, diabetes, etc.) so we know what to do if something goes wrong.
We carry public liability insurance. Details available on request at hello@everyoneplays.uk. Participation is at your own risk. Football is a contact sport and injuries do happen.
Medical Emergency Action Plan, Stoke Damerel Community College. Document pending. Contact hello@everyoneplays.uk for the current copy.
Photos and short video clips may be taken at sessions for use on our website, social media, and funding applications. You can opt in or out at registration, and change your mind any time via your account settings.
Full details are in our privacy notice. In brief: we hold only what we need to run sessions safely, we never sell data, and you can request your record or its deletion at any time.
As a Community Interest Company limited by guarantee, we have no shareholders and pay no dividends. All surplus is reinvested into the mission. Our assets are subject to a statutory asset lock enforced by the CIC Regulator.
If something's gone wrong, tell us. We promise to take it seriously.
All policies on this page are reviewed at least annually by the Board of Directors, and whenever an incident or legal change requires it. Significant changes are flagged to all registered members by email.
