Safeguarding
Safeguarding is overseen by our Child Welfare Officer Kelly Hillier.
All coaching volunteers will need to undergo a Criminal Records Check. To do this, sign in / sign up to the FA to get your FA Number (FAN) and email our Child Welfare Officer with your FAN, your date of birth and full address.
