Report a Safegaurding concern

We want to provide a safe environment for our players and we want to ensure that if players and parents have any concerns they can contact us or the Sussex Fa with the details below.

Our Safegaurding and Child Wellfare officer is Rebecca Lee and you can email her at leebecks@hotmail.com or call her on 07796 950037

This means, if standards ever fall short with poor practice or unacceptable behaviour, there’s a framework in place to make sure The FA can deal with it. By reporting a concern you can help The FA make sure that the youth game stays safe and strong.

Anyone who has a concern about the welfare of a child or the behaviour of an adult towards a child or young person under-18 years of age in football, is required to refer it to The FA Safeguarding team. The team is staffed by professionals who are experienced in dealing with these concerns.

Referring a concern can be done via your club, league or County FA – all will have a designated safeguarding officer (DSO). Alternatively, you can email The FA directly via safeguarding@thefa.com.

If the matter is urgent and you cannot contact your club or County FA designated safeguarding officer, you can call The NSPCC 24-hour helpline on 0808 800 5000 – or if it is an emergency because a child or children are at immediate risk, then call the police or children’s social care in your area.
