Where it is considered likely that the weather will make a training session or match unsafe through thunder and lightning the activity should be postponed and/or cancelled.

If the weather becomes unsafe after an activity has begun, the activity should be postponed and/or abandoned and all participants should seek shelter (e.g. in a safe indoor location) until the weather has become safe.

NO FOOTBALL SHOULD BE PLAYED FOR 30/45 MINUTES AFTER AN EPISODE OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.

Weather conditions must also be considered when participants are leaving an activity.

Where possible, decisions to postpone or cancel should be taken at the earliest opportunity so as to limit the impact on participants.

Any decision to postpone, cancel or abandon should be taken with the safety of participants being the top priority.

The safety of the children within our care should be of the upmost importance and the above adhered to at all times.

Thank you.
