FA Safeguarding Children Workshop

Awarded by the Football Association, this short 3 hour course provides club representatives, coaches, referees and volunteers with an awareness of best practice in safeguarding children in football.

This course is open to anyone over the age of 18, specifically those who are involved in supporting young footballers including those under 18 years playing in adult football. Coaches, medics and referees are encouraged to complete the course, especially those involved with Charter Standard clubs where the Safeguarding qualification is a mandatory requirement.

3 hours in duration, managed by an experienced and fully qualified FA Safeguarding Tutor, the course format is classroom based and will provide you with the knowledge to support participants to create a fun, safe and positive environment and importantly, ensure you are aware how to identify and report any concerns about a child’s welfare.

On completion, your Safeguarding Children certificate will be valid for 3 years and is a pre-requisite to gaining a ‘pass’ across all FA Coaching qualification levels.
