Report A Concern
Report A Player Welfare Concern
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility if you are worried about a child it is important that you report your concerns – no action is not an option.
If you are worried about a child then you need to report your concerns to the Club Welfare Officer by emailing [email protected].
If the issue is one of poor practice the Club Welfare Officer will either:
• deal with the matter themselves or
• seek advice from the CFA Welfare Officer
If the concern is more serious – possible child abuse, where possible, contact the CFA Welfare Officer first, then immediately contact the Police or Children’s Social Care.
If the child needs immediate medical treatment take them to a hospital or call an ambulance and tell them this is a child protection concern. Let our Club Welfare Officer know what action you have taken, they in turn will inform the CFA Welfare Officer.
If at any time you are not able to contact the Club Welfare Officer or the matter is clearly serious then you can either:
• contact your CFA Welfare Officer directly ([email protected])
• contact The FA Safeguarding Team on 0800 169 1863 or [email protected]
• contact the Police or Children’s Social Care
• call the NSPCC 24 hour Helpline for advice on 0808 800 5000 or text 88858 or email [email protected]
