The Club has three Welfare Officers:
Club Welfare Officer Roles and Responsibilities
Safeguarding Visits
Manchester FA are committed to safeguarding visits and have been visiting leagues since the beginning of the season. The purpose of the visits is to check compliance of coaches and volunteers on match days to ensure the correct people are pitch side.
We need to ensure that coaches are listed correctly on Wholegame on order to carry out checks. If an individual is not listed or has no DBS etc this will be followed up with the Club and an action plan for the team will be put in place.
Safeguarding visits give us the opportunity to offer support to coaches, how to access courses etc.
Over this season we commit to visit all Clubs. We are looking to welfare officers to support this by making sure DBS are completed and ensuring coaches are listed correctly.
