Statement Concerning Protection of Children in Winwick Athletic FC
As a Charter Standard Community Club we are saddened by the media stories surrounding historic cases of abuse against children. We have therefore issued a reminder statement to all coaches of how we go about our weekly arrangements as a Club and what our Club Rules require ……. this is reproduced here to reassure parents about the steps in place to safeguard their children when under the care of our Qualified Team Volunteers.
“In light of recent allegations (as below in formal email received from FA Chairman, Greg Clarke) we wish to make it extremely clear that our Club upholds all the procedures of Child Protection / Safeguarding Children, which is why we insist without fail that all of our Volunteers MUST be CRC checked and have the relevant qualifications in place prior to any unsupervised activity with children taking place.
If teams have any temporary issues with completing any of their training sessions or matches, for example when the normal qualified person is unavailable, then please let the Club know, we will try to provide cover, or if we cannot manage to do that then the activity will not take place, because on no occasion can a non-qualified person or non-CRC checked person take control of any sessions in an unsupervised manner.
We also need all coaching qualifications to be updated if you do become out-of-date.
This Club Committee thanks you in advance for your cooperation in ensuring that this remains the case at all times across our Club. We also have an obligation to reassure parents that we take every step to protect their children. If you need to cancel any team matches or training sessions because you cannot comply with the above then so be it, and please explain to all parents why this is the case.
Many Regards
Paul McMahon
Club Secretary, on behalf of Winwick Athletic FC”
The statement received from the FA that prompted our message to all club volunteers reads below ……
“Dear Club Secretary,
I am writing to you today to ensure that all our clubs are aware of the recent disclosures of child abuse in football and what they should do next if they have any concerns.
Everyone at The FA is appalled by the horrific abuse that has been suffered by former footballers. I applaud their immense courage and bravery in coming forward. Our thoughts are with the victims of this abuse and we are clear that we will do everything we can to support them.
I wanted to ensure that you are left in no doubt concerning how seriously The FA is approaching these disclosures. At the moment, and in line with the normal FA safeguarding procedures, we are working closely with the police and relevant authorities and we continue to encourage anyone with information about possible child abuse to report their concerns to the police, The FA or the NSPCC.
I am sure you too are deeply concerned about the recent disclosures and it is of course important to emphasise the diligence with which clubs must approach their safeguarding responsibilities. I am therefore writing to every grassroots club in the country, while my counterparts in the Premier League and EFL are writing to the professional clubs too.
All clubs need to ensure their safeguarding is a priority. Together, we will make sure that the game we all love can be played in a safe, fun environment.
Firstly, I would like your help to ensure that we can offer support to those who need it. Please ensure that those at your club are aware of the specific helpline we have commissioned the NSPCC to provide to help encourage more people to come forward. The number is 0800 023 2642.
Secondly, I ask you too for extra vigilance with regards to safeguarding and your procedures. If you have any concerns, please contact The FA through safeguarding@thefa.com.
We cannot and will not be complacent. Despite the fact that the safeguarding landscape has changed significantly in recent years, we must ensure we all treat the topic with the utmost care. As you know, The FA works collaboratively on prevention and investigations with the Premier League, the EFL and County FAs, along with other football stakeholders. The FA has a team of safeguarding professionals who put in place preventative measures via policy, education, best practice and support for the network of people acting as Designated Safeguarding Officers (DSOs). That team is here to help you if you need it; as a grassroots club you can also seek advice and guidance directly from your CFA DSO. In addition our specialist Case Management Team comprised of safeguarding professionals manage referrals and concerns, working closely with the statutory agencies in relation to investigations and put in place safeguards to manage people who pose, or may pose a risk of harm.
This framework sees 8,500 DSOs across the professional and grassroots game and carries out some 55,000 criminal records checks each season. 35,000 coaches and referees also attend The FA’s safeguarding awareness course each season and each club of course also implements its own safeguarding policy.
Collectively we will continue to work together to ensure that these measures are robust and that football is played safely across the country.
If you have any concerns please contact us.
Yours sincerely,
Greg Clarke
Chairman

2015/16 Season Nears its End – WELL DONE ALL PLAYERS
Well done to ALL Club Players, Parents, Supporters, Friends, Coaches, Volunteers, Venue Owners, Partners, Lancashire FA, The FA, Warrington Junior Football League, Warrington & District Football League, Team Sponsors, Nike, Vesey, Winwick Parish Council, UA Warrington, Culcheth High School, University of Chester, Warrington Borough Council, Newton Rotary Club and everyone else connected with Winwick Athletic FC for achieving the most important thing of all ……. LETTING YOUR CHILDREN ENJOY THEIR FOOTBALL THIS YEAR !!
Your time, effort and patience, is invaluable to their well being, their self-esteem, their development as people, as well as their enjoyment of sport and improvement with their football …… its clearly not just a game, but in simple terms by making it be exactly that … “just a game” .. you reward the children in so many ways, too many for you to even measure.
Success measured by way of older teams winning divisions and titles has provided a good share for our teams too, particularly our U12s and U17s teams, but the message from the Club is that every single one of you are winners in our eyes.
To our 40 FA Licensed Coaches too, an amazing achievement to have so many of you all on board with this public statement of commitment to developing yourselves as coaches.
Keep up all of the good work as we approach 2016/17 from 1st July …..
Yours very Proudly in Sport
Paul McMahon (Club Secretary)
