COMMITMENT TO SAFEGUARDING

A welfare officer has been appointed and provides a service to the club in addition to ensuring that criminal records checks are undertaken the welfare officer has access to a number of other sources to provide advice and guidance on any complex issues.

The welfare officer is Paul Phillips and he may be contacted by phone on 07709490731 or email via paul.phillips@alfretontownfc.com. Any complaints relating to either children or vulnerable adults should be made to the welfare officer in the first instance.

Whistleblowing in a safeguarding context means revealing and raising concerns over misconduct or malpractice within an organisation. It can be used as an early warning system or it’s recognised that appropriate actions have not been taken. Any person with concerns can contact 0800 169 1863 and ask for the FA’s safeguarding team, or via email to: safeguarding@TheFA.com
