Child welfare and safeguarding

At CSA 07 FC, we take the welfare of all children at our club incredibly seriously. We want every child to feel safe and comfortable whilst playing or training with us.

Whether you are a young player, referee, or volunteer, you can be assured that CSA 07 FC insists on the highest levels of respect across our club and from visiting clubs and teams.

It is our utmost priority that all children are treated fairly and protected from all forms of misconduct (including abuse of any type).

We support 100% the FA Respect program.

Report your concerns

If you are worried about a child, it is important that you report your concerns – no action is not an option. Follow the steps below.

1. If you are worried about a child, then you need to report your concerns to the Club Welfare Officer.

2. If the issue is one of poor practice, they will either:

Deal with the matter themselves or
Seek advice from the Hampshire FA Welfare Officer

If the concern is more serious – possible child abuse – where possible, contact the Berks & Bucks FA Welfare Officer first, then immediately contact the Police or Children’s Services

4. If the child needs immediate medical treatment, take them to a hospital or call an ambulance and tell them this is a child protection concern. Let your Club Welfare Officer know what action you have taken

5. If at any time you are not able to contact your Club Welfare Officer or the matter is serious, then you can either:

Contact your Berks & Bucks FA Welfare Officer directly -
