BRFC Volunteer Policy

Broadford Rovers FC existence depends on the voluntary effort of all its volunteers. Volunteers are the driving force of the club and without volunteers the club would not be in the position to offer football opportunities in our community. It is important that the club provides a healthy environment for volunteers and recruits the right people for the right job.

The following steps will help to protect young people and assist in placing volunteers in a position to which they are suited and supported.
