South West Club Welfare Festival
Throughout June, the Sport Welfare Officers from the Active Partnerships in the South West of England will be hosting a series of training, talks, and events to support clubs in adopting welfare and safeguarding-rich club environments.
I am pleased to share with you priority booking for 'An evening with Dr Paul Stewart. The former Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur player shares his lived experience of abuse in football.'
This session is being put on by Wesport, but as it is being held at the GFA Club Welfare Officers have priority booking over this weekend. Please see below link to book your places.
Start the Conversation - Understanding & Empowering Neurodiversity in Sport
As a League Official with responsibilities in grassroots football, you’ll know well how hate at matches can ruin the experience for others. Too often:
Your league’s clubs’ reputations can be damaged by poor behaviour at matches.
Referees’ ability to officiate in safety can be compromised.
Spectators abuse referees, players, coaches and other spectators.
We’re asking you and everyone in grassroots football – including players, spectators and coaches – to report racist, sexist, homophobic, violent and abusive behaviour to us every time it happens.
Only when we know it’s happened can we take the tough action needed to remove hate, with sanctions that include:
Deducting points
Banning players
Even closing grounds
Reporting is working. Last season, The FA handed out 5,510 match bans for discrimination, bans of 55,075 for abusing referees, and charged offenders on 63% of reports. This season, we’ll continue to do everything we can to remove hate and protect the game.
