Every one of our Age related coaches have a current Safeguarding Children certificate and are enhanced CRC checked. Each team also has a coach who is FA first aid trained. 

 

We have a Club appointed Welfare Officer, who can be contacted below.

​

The Club Welfare Officer has two key responsibilities these are:

 

1. To be clear about the clubs responsibilities when running activities for children and young people. This involves:

​

• Ensuring these responsibilities are well understood by others

• Working with the Youth League Welfare Officer

• Working with the County FA (CFA) Welfare Officer and other CFA staff as appropriate, (e.g. CFA Disciplinary staff)

• Helping to develop best-practice processes and promoting The FA’s Respect Programme

 

2. To help club personnel understand what their ‘duty of care’ towards children and young people actually means and entails on a day-to-day basis.

​

This ensures you as a player, parent / carer have peace of mind in your Club.
