Welfare follows on from Safeguarding Children and covers areas such as anti-bullying. The Football Association currently offer training for both Club and League Welfare Officers nominated by their clubs/leagues with youth teams.
Club Welfare Officer (CWO)
The role of THE CWO is essential so that we can support clubs to deal with some of the poor practice issues that arise in football clubs. By having appropriate policies, codes of conduct and sanctions etc, clubs can be proactive in raising standards of behaviour in youth football, as well as passing on important information about more serious concerns, to the CFA CPO and The FA.
