In preparation for the return of football once current restrictions are lifted, now is an ideal time for you to check that you as coaches / volunteers have an up to date Safeguarding qualification. 

This qualification can be renewed online for those that have an expired Safeguarding qualification or one that is due to expire in the next 6 months.

In addition to the re-certification, there are several other courses available to volunteers involved in grassroots football.

The FA Safeguarding for Committee Members
