Club Guidelines and FAW Code of Conduct |
Welfare Officer: Andrew Mackay
Camford Sports have like all participating sports clubs a Welfare Officer.
All Team Leaders and Team Helpers have a DBS check via the FAW scheme and these are collated by Andrew
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 Manager’s, 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 to 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.
CLUB GUIDELINES 2021/22 Camford Sports want your child to keep fit and have fun through playing football. To help us achieve this we have established these guidelines for coaches, volunteers, parents and players. All of our guidelines are based upon those that have been agreed by the Football Association of Wales. If these simple guidelines are followed then all of our young players can enjoy their time and develop new football skills and new friends! All of our coaches have achieved the FOOTBALL LEADERS AWARD from the FAW Trust and we will endeavour to provide as many coaches as possible for sessions. Please read the following information with regards to training and matches. If you are interested in coaching or volunteering in other ways then please do not hesitate to contact the Team Leaders.
Please remember all our club representatives are unpaid volunteers, if you feel you could help out in any capacity let us know

We all have a responsibility to ensure that everyone involved in football finds it to be a fun, safe and positive experience.
