North Riding FA is hosting a Club Welfare Officer drop-in session at York RI AFC (YO24 4NX) on Thursday 18 October (3-8pm), providing a perfect opportunity for Welfare Officers to discuss any concerns or issues they may have regarding their role.

Jennie Bennett, Football Operations and Safeguarding Manager at North Riding FA, will be on hand to discuss a range of topics, including how to complete a DBS verification, what to do if a child makes a disclosure, how to communicate with coaches and the complaint handling process.

A formal appointment is not required but we do ask for those interested to notify us of their intention to attend and expected time of arrival. To do this, please email Support@NorthRidingFA.com

If you would like a drop-in session to take place in your area, and your club has a venue to offer for the evening, please get in touch via the email address above.
