The league is committed to the welfare and safety of our players, match officials, club and league officials and spectators. Contact details of our Welfare Officers and the sub-committee are at the foot of this page.
Given the rules that our clubs will have to adhere to are driven by the FA, assistance should be sought primarily through your County FA, whose pages are below

For the 2023/24 Clubs will need to have a named Club Welfare Officer (Open Age) and a Safeguarding section on their website/social media. They will have to complete an FA Player Welfare course (once available).
For season 2024/25 the CWO (Open Age) will require an FA Enhanced DBS, Player Welfare and Safeguarding for Committee Members course to be completed.
Managers/Coaches/First Aiders (in regulated activities) will require a FA Enhanced DBS and Player Welfare Course.
