Introduction:

Cheshunt Youth Football Club is run with the primary objective of allowing local children to develop their football skills, meet new friends, learn to be good team members and where permitted by FA guidelines, play in competitive games. The Administration, Managers and Coaches are all volunteers, sharing their time & skills to provide local children with a safe and progressive environment to develop and enjoy their football. All Cheshunt Youth Managers and Coaches have FA Safeguarding, Disclosure & Barring and First Aid Certification, along with FA Football Coaching Certification. 

To ensure Cheshunt Youth FC operates in a fair and consistent manner we have a Constitution & Rules consisting of multiple guidelines from The FA, and Hertfordshire FA administered and updated by a committee (see key members at the head of this page) and a Child Welfare Officer.  The Constitution and Rules cover everyone involved at Cheshunt Youth FC (Players, Coaches, Managers, Officials & Parents) . The Constitution and Rules help us all to run an enjoyable and successful Football Club, however we recognise there may be occasional instances of misunderstanding or complaint, to be able to address these and bring them to timely conclusion the following procedures are available and should be adhered to, in order to maintain a consistent approach.

Complaint Procedure:

• If you have a question or complaint, please work with Cheshunt Youth FC first to address the root cause and draw to conclusion, rather than broadcast a complaint without consideration.( see Cheshunt FC Social Media Policy)
• In the first instance please approach the Team Manager for assistance, if the Team Manager requires further assistance he/she will engage the Cheshunt Youth FC Secretary or CWO. 
• If the Team Manager is integral to your complaint, please address your complaint to the Cheshunt Youth FC Secretary
• If the Cheshunt Youth FC Secretary is also integral to your complaint, please address your complaint to the Cheshunt Youth FC Chairman.
• Where a complainant is not fully satisfied with the Cheshunt Youth FC response or resolution, then the issue will be further investigated by a Cheshunt Youth FC Complaints Sub Committee, the Secretary and or Chairman will be responsible for forming the Sub Committee, and will draw members from Cheshunt Youth FC and/or the wider Cheshunt FC organisation based on the subject matter of the complaint to ensure a degree of expertise on the matter is available. 
• Cheshunt Youth FC are affiliated to Hertfordshire FA, if all internal options for resolution are exhausted, the complainant may engage Hertfordshire FA for their consideration of the matter. 

Consideration & Requirements of a Complaint:

• Whilst  Cheshunt Youth FC will not introduce unreasonable delay, it does not put fixed timescales on complaint resolution. Each case is different and will be dealt with thoroughly, however long that may take. It will endeavour to provide updates at key stages , where appropriate.
• Please ensure a complaint follows the hierarchy above, senior members of Cheshunt Youth FC will be unable to review a complaint or form a Sub Committee to hear the complaint without evidence of the complaint having followed due process. Please note; Any escalation needs to be appropriate, it will not necessarily speed up or change a decision.
• Please ensure clear evidence and or a witness statement(s) is made available in support of a complaint,  a complaint cannot be addressed on ‘hearsay’.   Please note; It is not the responsibility of the Cheshunt Youth FC to collect & collate such information in the first instance,  the Club will not normally consider unsupported complaints.
• Cheshunt Youth FC cannot accept a complaint that has been taken direct to Hertfordshire FA, without the Cheshunt Youth FC officials having had the opportunity to address the complaint ( Unless Hertfordshire FA are the Complainant)  (Where a complaint has been directed to the Hertfordshire FA without having been initially raised with Cheshunt Youth FC, then Hertfordshire FA may forward the complaint & ask the club to investigate on the FA’s behalf & advise them of findings.
• Where a Cheshunt Youth FC Complaint Sub Committee has been required, the decision of the Committee is to be considered final. 

This area of the website  has multiple links and documentation (above)  to club documents, The FA and Hertfordshire FA recommendations and guidelines, they are  available to everyone to read & refer, with these guidelines in place  and followed, it is expected the need for a Complaint Procedure is expected to be minimal.
