Child Welfare is an important subject to the club, and our Club Welfare Officers are Nigel Wilks and Mark Norris. It is the Club Welfare Officers role: -
1. To be clear about the club’s 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 (YLWO)
- Working with your CFA Welfare Officer
- Promoting The FA’s Respect programme and helping to develop best-practice processes
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.
Nigel and Mark are also responsible for ensuring all of our Managers and Coaching Staff are CRB checked, and that these are updated every 3 years.
