Laura Hallett
Welfare Officer
Our Top Priority
At Maiden Newton Youth Football Club, our number one concern is the safety and welfare of the children who play for the club, and the adults who work with them.
All our coaches have a valid DBS (Disclosure & Barring service) check, FA approved emergency aid qualification and have attended the FA Safeguarding Children workshop. These are updated and refreshed periodically in line with FA guidelines.
If you have any concerns about the welfare of any child at the club please contact Laura.

Photography
From time to time we may wish to use images of children taken at matches or training to celebrate achievements or promote the club. Permission will always be sought from parents/carers and children will never be identified using their full name. For more information read our document on guidance.
The Club Welfare Officer sits on the Club Committee and knows all of the Club’s coaches and managers.
Policy Library
There are a number of policies that we have in place to safeguard our players. There will also be forms to complete on registration so make sure you read those carefully and ask your coach if you have any questions. If you can’t find what you are looking for, or have a concern then contact the Club Welfare Officer.
