The FA Charter Standard helps clubs develop policies and practices making them proud to provide football in a safe environment where competitive football is fun and open to everyone. This is your reassurance, as a parent, that we do everything we can to keep your child safe. Each year we complete an annual health check to ensure we maintain this standard.
To achieve the FA Charter Standard the club must:
- have a trained Welfare Officer;
- run Criminal Record Checks, for all volunteers and ensure they are current;
- ensure all volunteers are Safeguarding trained and this qualification is in date;
- have emergency aid-trained volunteers attached to each team and this qualification is in date;
- provide a minimum of one FA Level One coach for each youth team;
- have appropriate club administration in place;
- be signed-up to the FA Respect programme.
We are proud that we have achieved this standard consistently over many years.
