Lets make sure Football’s safe – NOT SORRYRememberCRC’s are a requirement under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012CRC’s are governed by Law and decisions around who qualifies for a CRC are not a League decision
Carrying out the right checks, ensuring those in key roles are educated on the indicators of abuse – and know how to refer any concerns – are fundamental to creating a fun and safe environment
CRC’s shouldn’t be used in isolation to identify whether an individual is suitable to volunteer within your Club, they should form part of your recruitment process which should include completion of application form, interviews and referencesSlide7

Respect MarshallsRespect Marshalls: Can be used to help deal with difficult spectators and remind all concerned about their responsibilities regarding RespectSome areas have introduced Respect Marshalls who are ideally known to their club
Respect Marshalls are there to deal with small scale incidents and to reduce and diffuse problems
It is not the role of Respect Marshalls to replace the referee or the normal FA/League sanctions
Respect Marshalls should never place themselves or others in danger
Respect Marshalls are identified with a Respect bib which increases their visibility and has been found to assist them when they have been required to intervene
Slide18
Introducing Respect Marshalls to the LeagueAimFor each club to have Respect Marshalls who will provide Match Day Support to maintain RespectProposal
League
are looking for 2 clubs per age group
to introduce
Respect Marshalls.
Clubs can volunteer for one age group only
If interested email League Welfare OfficersSlide19
One VoiceAimThe One Voice Weekend initiative is an attempt to draw attention to the experiences of a number of children at some youth games.Whilst acknowledging that the vast majority of matches are played in a safe and enjoyable environment in front of supportive and well-behaved
adults, there is still an element of poor behaviour. The purpose is
to see how we can
create more positive experiencesSlide20
When & HowIt is proposed that One Voice will take place the weekend of 25th and 26th OctoberOne coach from each team to be designated as the “voice” for the gameThe voice of the designated “voice” is the only voice which should be heard throughout the game, other than players and the refereeParents/spectator are allowed to clap only
Volunteer clubs to be responsible for policing adherenceAll participating clubs would be required to email their kick off time/venue to LWO’s so that visits/publicity can be arranged accordingly
Interested Clubs to email League Welfare OfficersSlide21
Feedback, findings and recommendationsClubs, including players, parents, club officials, referees, participating will be contacted after the event and asked to complete feedback form after which findings will be publicised and an action plan developedSlide22
Players ForumAimIncrease player participation in decision making within the LeagueSheffield & Hallamshire CFA Youth Council are starting to influence some of the decision making within local football but adults continue to predominantly shape how clubs are run and how leagues operate.Whilst the work of volunteers within Clubs and Leagues cannot be underestimated and is invaluable,
it does not negate the right and value
of young people
being
adequately
represented.Slide23
Players ForumThe League would like your help to consider new and innovative ways of increasing the involvement of players within their Clubs and the League.It is well documented that empowering young people to have a say in their game makes them more confident, independent and capable of solving their own problems.A Club/League shaped by young people will be far more relevant to their needs and will hopefully improve retention and more importantly enjoymentLeague propose a players forum were players have the opportunity to discuss issues related to the game from their point of view and develop solutions/action plans to address issuesEvent could be combined with recruitment event for SHCFA Youth Council Slide24
