Fnatic Group | Safeguarding Policy
Introduction
The welfare of children, young people and adults at risk is paramount to Fnatic, and to the esports ecosystem as a whole. We are responsible for, are committing to, and will lead esports in the standard of care and risk management for, the safeguarding of children, young people and adults at risk.
Fnatic has two safeguarding policies: our 'Children and Young People Safeguarding Policy' and our 'Adults at Risk Safeguarding Policy' (together, the Policies). The Policies promote the welfare of all children, young people and adults at risk that Fnatic engages with or who are otherwise under Fnatic’s care.
How you can help
If you become aware of a safeguarding issue involving Fnatic or a member of the Fnatic team, please inform us immediately via safeguarding@fnatic.com or Speak Up! form. You are not obligated to share your name or personal details with us, but doing so will help us update you as to our response.
How can I identify an adult at risk?
Adults at risk are those who are at risk of abuse or neglect due to either personal characteristics (eg. disability or special educational needs) or their circumstances (eg. socio-economic factors and living conditions).
Identifying an adult at risk may require you to account for various factors and assess an adult’s situation as a whole. You should consult Fnatic’s Core Safeguarding Team (via safeguarding@fnatic.com) if you need advice on this issue.
How do I report a safeguarding incident concerning a child, young person or adult at risk under Fnatic’s care?
Email safeguarding@fnatic.com or use the Speak Up! form.
Can / should I report an incident that is not specifically mentioned in the Policies?
Yes. If you’re aware of any harm caused to a person for whom Fnatic is responsible - or even if you suspect harm may have occurred, but you’re not 100% sure - it’s vital that you tell us about it.
