Safe Hockey

Croydon Ranges Hockey Club (CRHC) is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all people who are involved at our club. This is of particular importance for the safeguarding of children and young adults.

If you have a concern about your safety or well-being (or someone else’s), then we strongly encourage you to talk to someone. This should be a person that you trust – such as a parent, or a trusted coach or team manager, or another dependable person at the club.
