FINDING SUPPORT 

It is important that you are aware of where you can find support if you feel worried about your safety or wellbeing.

The pandemic has meant this year has been difficult for young people in many ways and we recognise that you may not have had contact with friends and family who may normally support you. The FA have produced a list of organisations that may be able to support you if you are under the age of 18 and feel worried or anxious.

Do you know your Club Welfare Officer?

Every club has a Club Welfare Officer who is there to offer you support if you have any concerns about your safety or wellbeing or the safety of other people. Your club should have introduced them to you but if you do not know who they are, please ask your club. You and your parents/carers should have their contact details so they can help you if you should need them.

Reporting to the CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command)

Are you worried about online sexual abuse or the way someone has been communicating with you online?

Yellow Armbands Campaign – Respecting Young Referees

We want to make sure that young referees are respected within the game and allowed to develop as referees without being put under pressure.

We want to make sure that everyone at the game remembers that young referees are under 18 and still need safeguarding.

Please view the film and contact us at support@staffordshirefa.com if you are under 18 and require a yellow armband.
