Governance & Policies

Accountability is one of our ten core values. This page is how we honour it.

How the club is governed

Chegutu Community Football Club is governed by a board that carries legal and financial responsibility for the organisation. The board sets strategy, approves the annual budget, appoints senior staff and holds every department to account against published objectives.

Day-to-day operations are delegated to department leads, each with a written remit. Safeguarding sits outside the football reporting line by design: the Designated Safeguarding Officer reports directly to the board, so a concern about any member of staff can be raised without conflict of interest.

Board responsibilities

  • Strategic direction and approval of the five-year plan
  • Financial oversight, budget approval and annual accounts
  • Safeguarding assurance and policy adoption
  • Appointment and performance review of senior staff
  • Risk management, insurance and legal compliance
  • League and association compliance for both senior teams
