ALL clubs require:
A Club Safeguarding Officer (CSO) or Welfare officer.
Ideally this person should not be a club chair or a coach. This person should be assigned the role on ENgage. CSO's need a minimum Social/Supporting membership.

Coaches are there to facilitate sessions that are fun and involve everyone, as well as improve technique and performance. Clubs, volunteers, parents and players should look out for coach practices that fall below what is expected, develop into poor practice or present safeguarding issues. Coaches should involve players and parents/carers; encouraging them to ask questions, to support the coach and the players and to get involved.
