The FA Welfare Officer Workshop

The FA requires all affiliated clubs to appoint a Club Welfare Officer. For 2010-2011 this person must have attended The FA Welfare Officer Workshop.

The course teaches best practice in relation to safeguarding children and also identifies the roles and responsibilities of everyone in the safeguarding support network. Welfare Officers will learn:

  • An understanding of the role and responsibilities of the position.
  • Information on how the Kent County FA can support them.
  • Discussion on varying case scenarios to help deal with poor practice.
  • Identify what steps need to be taken to develop their club. 
  • Opportunity to share and discuss best practice examples.

Next workshop(s):

  • Monday July 2nd 2012 at Kent FA Offices, Aylesford, from 7:00pm - 10:00pm
