Charter Standard News

HDJFL achieve the award

The Halton & District Junior Football League (H&DJFL) is celebrating after being awarded the prestigious FA Charter Standard League award.

The Charter Standard League award is a flagship initiative for The FA, and assesses the ability of a League to provide a high quality, safe and enjoyable football experience against a standard set of criteria. It also encourages the League to continually develop, through ongoing support from staff at Cheshire FA and the review and ongoing development of a League Development Plan, as part of an annual health check process.
The League, founded in 1971, is currently providing football for just under 2,000 players each week through its 120 member teams.

Photography Guidelines

There has been much talk about who is allowed to take pictures of children (under 18s) playing sport and in particular what parents/carers are permitted to do.

The FA have produced a leaflet giving guidance on the taking of appropriate images of childen in football

Remember, it’s not an offence to take appropriate photographs in a public place even if asked not to do so and no one has the right to decide who can and cannot take images on public land. If you have serious concerns about a possible child protection issue then you should call the police.
