NSPCC Freephone 24 hour helpline 0800 800 5000 APPENDIX 2: BAFA Anti Bullying Policy Introduction It is important for all to recognise that this form of abuse is not just perpetrated by adults, but the abuser can often be another young person. Bullying is not easy to be defined, as it takes many forms and is usually repeated over a period of time. The actions of a bully arise out of a wish to deliberately hurt, threaten, or frighten another. The aims of the Policy are: To state clearly the BAFA's position on bullying and to provide a framework for parents, players and officials in dealing with bullying behaviour. To raise awareness of bullying with member organisations, players and parents. To ensure BAFA organisations encourage players to develop a positive attitude towards themselves and others. To ensure Coaches and Club officials maintain a consistent approach by clarifying the roles of individuals in the Club and to introduce procedures for investigation and prevention. To promote greater concern for the welfare of victims and bullies. To reduce the possibility of the incidents of bullying happening within BAFA. The purpose of the Policy is: To ensure BAFA member organisations safeguard the welfare of their members by providing the most possible safe and secure environment for all. To actively promote the Policy to BAFA member organisations, players and parents.
