Clubs across Merseyside can now access a brand-new document produced by The FA, packed with best practice to help ensure you provide the best welcome possible to newcomers.

Entitled ‘Providing A Positive Welcome To Your Club’, the document aims to support clubs to reflect on the information currently make available to parents and carers, with a specific focus on how that is done and elements that could be enhanced.

Within the resource document, clubs can find tips and advice including:

• A club checklist
• Hyperlinks to FA guidance
• User agreements
• Appropriate club official/coach
• Communicating with parents
• Running events

All Club Welfare Officers are encouraged to take this document to their committee to gain a buy-in across the club environment.

In addition, Liverpool County FA encourages all Welfare Officers to provide feedback on the resource, as The FA will be providing bespoke resources for clubs in future.
