Coaching roles in youth and open-aged football as a minimum require a DBS Check. Eligibility is governed by legislation. In brief, anyone aged 16 years or over who undertakes any potentially unsupervised roles working directly with children and young adults under the age of 18 MUST have a DBS Enhanced Criminal Record with Children’s Barred List Check

All our coaches are issued with a Club ID badge to confirm their qualications. They are expected to wear them for both club matches and coaching sessions.
