Safeguarding
Staffordshire Schools and Colleges FA recognises its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people by protecting them from physical, sexual or emotional harm and from neglect or bullying. As an organisation, we are determined to meet its obligations to ensure that those schools and organisations providing football opportunities for children and young people do so, to the highest possible standard of care. The Association shall adopt, fully adhere to and conform to all the ESFA/FA child welfare policies, procedures and guidelines.
Should you wish to raise or report any concerns regarding this important area, please contact our Child Welfare Officer, Bailey Evans (baileyevans.ssfa@gmail.com), or our Secretary Mark Warren on the following details; warrenmark7@btinternet.com
Concerns can also be raised directly with the FA/NSPCC helpline on 0808 800 5000 or with The FA by emailing safeguarding@thefa.com
