Wellfield Athletic AFC

Club Welfare

Welfare Officer: Mike Lee

Wellfield Athletic AFC have, like all participating sports clubs, a Welfare Officer.

All Team Leaders have and are in the process of receiving a CRB check via the FAW scheme and these are collated by Mike.

Role:

There are many roles within the club that a Welfare officer may be asked to undertake.

They exist to protect the children from any form of abuse or injury. Abuse can come from many instances such as managers, coaches and more often from parents. Those parents who carry out such abuse will be asked to stop and ultimately leave the pitch-side. The Welfare Officer is also there to protect the managers and coaches should they have to attend an injured child.

Should The Welfare Officer be approached they will report any form of complaint to the committee and also may report instances to the West Wales FA and if they feel that it is serious, then it may be referred onto the NSPCC.
