Safeguarding children
District Schools' FAs are reminded that to affliliate to the English Schools' FA for Season 2010-2011, the Association is required to have a named Club Welfare Officer who has:
- An accepted FA CRB check
- Completed the Safguarding Children workshop
- Completed the Welfare Officer workshop
If you have changed your Association Welfare Officer during the season you will need to check to make sure that they meet the above requirements.
Association Welfare Officers: if you have yet to attend a Welfare Officer Workshop please use this link to Durham FA for a list upcoming Welfare Officer Workshops.
Association Secretaries: in order to ensure a smooth affiliation process it is essential for you to discuss with your current Association Welfare Officer whether they plan to remain within the role for next season.
If they do not plan to stay in the role, it is important that your Association acts now to identify a new Welfare Officer and assess if they meet the above stated requirements.
If they do not have an accepted FA CRB and/or need to attend one or both of the workshops it is imperative that these are attended to prior to your affiliation to ESFA.
