Welfare

FA Respect PosterAs an FA Charter Standard Community Club, child welfare is at the heart of what we do.

Raiders Trustee, Joanna Conway, is responsible for the Club’s compliance with the child protection and welfare issues that are related to running a youth football club.

The Club Welfare Officers, Susanna Wilcock(Boys) and Joanna Conway (Girls) are responsible for the welfare and safeguarding of all members under the age of 18. They can be contacted at welfare@berkhamstedraiders.com

Three of the Club codes relate specifically to Club Welfare issues, namely:

  • Safeguarding Children Policy
  • Child Protection Policy
  • Complaints and Disciplinary Procedure.

All Managers and Coaches must complete the following before taking charge of a team:

  • CRC/DBS check
  • Minimum FA Level 1 Award in Coaching Football
  • FA Safeguarding Children Workshop
  • FA Level 1 Introduction to First Aid in Football
