For Athletic Club, the welfare of all children in our youth groups is a fundamental priority. The club's commitment to this matter is resolute and takes form in the creation of the ATERPE policy for the protection of children.
Furthermore, the club's Child Protection Officer is at the basis of a systematic structure that establishes a comprehensive child protection policy which includes preventive measures, training and protocols for action, all with the sole aim of ensuring the total safety of all the children at our club.
