ANNEX 2 - LICENSING OBJECTIVES

General Licensing Objectives
The football club has over 250 youth players and some 30 men playing each week through the football season. The club has strong community base and very much promotes the family side of the club with a progression for youth players through to the men's teams as they come of age. In promoting this the club seeks that all members of the club act as ambassadors for Liphook Utd in their behaviour both on the football pitch and in the clubhouse following the game. The club is for the members and the committee has the powers to exclude or band any member who does not act in accordance with the club's policies regarding behaviour.

Prevention of Crime and Disorder Objectives
The club is run by a committee of football managers who are predominately parents of youth players. The committee will not tolerate any crime or disorder from members and guests in the clubhouse. When the clubhouse is open a committee member will be in attendance or a responsible adult in charge of the facilities.
To date the club has had no incidents of crime or disorder within the clubhouse. With regard to behaviour outwith the clubhouse the football association and local league’s will act on any club where there is reported miss behaviour on or off the football pitch: with this in mind the club takes our responsibilities very seriously with regard to anyone who could be associated with the club: whether they be a member or not. Furthermore the club works in liaison with the local parish council to ensure the club's reputation is maintained and the community spirit is upheld.
The club has a code of conduct for all players, parents and managers.

Public Safety Objectives
The clubhouse is checked weekly during the season to ensure there are no trip hazards or other hazards to public safety. First aid kits are always available. The clubhouse has two exits in the event of a fire as well as from windows in this single storey building. A fire extinguisher is available in the main players lounge. All electrical items have been tested.
Externally the club has lighting to illuminate the access path during hours of darkness. The parish council is responsible for the car park and footpaths leading to the clubhouse.
The club has a risk assessment for the clubhouse that is reviewed annually.

Prevention of Public Nuisance Objectives
The club has not had any reports of public nuisance in the past (10 years+) and I would draw to your attention the comments in above crime and disorder that equally apply to public nuisance.
Furthermore the designated premises supervisor lives immediately next to the recreation ground and is conscious of the potential impact any public nuisance may have on neighbouring properties including his own. Staff working behind the bar will be trained in their responsibilities in applying best practice to avoid public nuisance through restricting the sale of alcohol to customers who may become a nuisance.

Protection of Children from Harm Objectives
The club has a strong youth membership who are registered to play for the club. In registering all players have to disclose their date of birth and therefore the vast majority of players are known to committee members serving behind the bar.
The club has a child protection policy and a designated person to handle any child protection issues that may be raised by a parent.
Committee members serving behind the bar are instructed to ask for ID for any persons requesting alcohol if they are unsure of their age.
