Welfare Contact

Winscombe Football Club supports The FA’s Respect programme to ensure football can be enjoyed by everyone in a safe and positive environment. Every player, parent/guardian and club official is expected to adhere to clubs Code of Conducts at all times.

Winscombe Football Club accepts it has a clear responsibility towards young people and has an appointed Club Welfare Officer (CWO)

Club Welfare Officers have two key roles:

Be informed and aware of the league or club’s responsibilities when running football activities for children and young people. For example:

Ensuring these responsibilities are well understood by others
Developing best practice processes.

Helping league and club personnel understand their ‘duty of care’ towards children and young people. For example

Ensuring all relevant people complete The FA’s ‘Safeguarding Children’ training programme
Helping to make sure trips away are organised properly
Managing the roll out of FA CRB checks.

The Club Welfare Officer sits on the Club Committee and knows all of the Club’s coaches and managers.
