Events at Licensed Premises: As you know, junior sports events such as
presentation nights, fund-raisers and tournaments can be a fun, family
experience with sport at the centre; but sometimes, particularly when alcohol
is around, events don`t run as smoothly or as safely as they should - putting
children - and the reputation of your club - at risk. To help clubs run events where children learn to
socialise, enjoy themselves and celebrate sport within a safe environment, the
Sheffield Safeguarding Children Board in consultation with Sheffield &
Hallam District Football Association, the licensed trade has produced some
guidance. The leaflet includes a checklist to help you manage the risks
associated with alcohol at your events. Training The
