4 Chairman’s Report
FS advised that he was pleased that the committee could now refocus on footballing matters. Regarding the complaints raised by the Burton family FS advised that the Club Disciplinary Committee had been convened and agreed to meet both parties in order to fully investigate the issues raised. Prior to this Worcester FA were contacted and full guidance was sought as to how to deal with the issue and clarity was sought as to child protection issues. The nature of the complaint and details provided indicated that no child protection issues existed. It was also agreed that the Club would only look at matters involving the Club and any comments relating to outside of WRFC were outside of scope.
Whilst the meeting with Mrs Tyler took place the meeting with the Burton family was cancelled by the Burton family. On the evidence to hand and with other considerations it was agreed by the Club Disciplinary Committee that there was no case regarding child protection issues. The CDC also felt that in light of actions by the Burton family there was no option but to exclude Mrs Burton from the club. An unfortunate consequence of this action was that the Burton children would no longer be able to participate in Club activities and as such it was felt that they should seek an alternative Club. The CDC regretted the consequence of the action, but the issue remained one of family dispute that football could not bridge. The CDC hoped the children would find a suitable Club in which all parties could enjoy football.. Fs advised that the whole affair had been very time consuming and had been handled in line with Club rules, FA guidance and with a desire to gain resolution. FS stated that the matter was now closed.
