My club is brilliant. The kids love to come here and so do our coaches.
We provide a fun and safe place to play football.
It’s all about involving suitable people and we’ve done that
by following the safer recruitment guidance from The FA.
As club welfare officer it all starts with me.
From conducting initial criminal record checks
through to making sure all our new starters
understand our codes of conduct.
Once we’ve got suitable people involved it’s my job
to monitor records and ensure renewal of the criminal
records checks, Emergency Aid and Safeguarding certificates
every three years. The Whole Game System
makes this so much easier than it used to be.
It’s been really easy because the committee actively helps me.
By reviewing the reports using the Whole Game System
every quarter, they help me make sure
all of our volunteers are up to date.
They even stepped in to support me when one of the coaches
didn’t want to renew their criminal records check.
And now as our clubs growing,
they’ve suggested an assistant Welfare Officer.
By making sure the whole club knows about our
safer recruitment policy and using the Whole Game System
to monitor our volunteers we can involve new people,
keep up to date and stay safe.
As we continue to grow as a club I know
we have the right structure in place.
From the committee to the newest volunteer we ensure
our club maximises fun and minimises risk for our young people.
