Your District Council has responded to requests from local sports clubs by organising a safeguarding and protecting children workshop.

The event – the third to be set up by the District Council's Clubs First initiative – will be held on Monday 22 February 6-9pm at Matlock Town Football Club.

The District Council's Club Development Officer Alan McGill said:

"This workshop is a direct response to feedback from the 59 local clubs that are currently signed up to the Clubs First programme."

To book a place and for further information email becky.burton@derbyshiredales.gov.uk or call 01629 761225.
