Safeguarding

Safeguarding

ScoutLink is built for under-16s, so player information is controlled, scout access is reviewed and every conversation goes through an adult.

Reviewed scout access

Scouts and clubs are reviewed before they can search player information.

Not public by default

Player profiles are only visible to reviewed scouts, never to the open web.

Coach-mediated contact

Scouts can’t message players. Every expression of interest goes to the coach first.

Approved video only

Parents upload through secure links, and only clips the coach approves appear on a profile.
