Safety & welfare

Who looks after your players

For parents, welfare officers and college staff: how families take part in a booked tour, and where to send a welfare question.

Responsibility

Who’s responsible for what

TFTG staff and your club’s own staff each cover part of the trip.

  • Supervision on and off the pitch

    On-site tour manager, 24/7

  • Rooming

    Allocates rooms to families, or as the club requests

    Tells us its rooming requests

  • First aid and medical care

    Collects medical needs after registration; calls the emergency services if needed

  • Contact with parents at home

    Informs parents within one hour of an emergency

Supervision and rooming

An on-site tour manager is with the group 24 hours a day. Rooms are allocated to families, or as your club requests, and players share with family members or teammates. Curfew is at 10pm.

Staff checks

All TFTG staff are DBS checked.

Medical, dietary and accessibility needs

After registration, families fill in a form with medical, allergy and dietary needs. The tour manager passes it to the hotel and the restaurants.

On tour: contact and incidents

The group reaches us through the tour manager, who is on site around the clock. In an emergency the tour manager calls the emergency services and informs parents at home within one hour.

Transport and accommodation

We arrange the hotels, the meals and local transport by coach for the whole tour.

Insurance

Travel insurance is not included in the tour price, so your club or each traveller arranges their own cover.

For parents

On a booked tour

Once your club’s tour is booked, here is what happens for your family.

  • Your club coach has the link to your club’s tour page, with the itinerary, prices and payment plan.
  • Players register through the club coach.
  • Each tour page has a question form that comes straight to Mark.

After registration, families fill in a form with medical, allergy and dietary needs.
