At Crowborough Athletic (CAFC) we firmly believe that children (as well as all others involved) should be having fun when playing football. We all want the children to have the best time enjoying the beautiful game.

We are committed to safeguarding and ensuring the protection of all children, young people and adults. We view our responsibility for ensuring the welfare and wellbeing of all children, young people and adults who engage in our activities as our highest priority.

If you or your child aren’t enjoying the game any more, or you have concerns about anyone at the club then this is the time to contact us and discuss any concerns you have in confidence.
