FA Whistleblower Policy Statement

“Whistle-blowing can be used as an early warning system or when it’s recognised that appropriate actions have not been taken. It is about revealing and raising concerns over misconduct or malpractice within an organisation or within an independent structure associated with it. Any adult or young person with concerns about a colleague can also use whistle-blowing by contacting The FA’s safeguarding team on 0800 169 1863 Extension 6300 or 6400 or via email on [email protected]. Alternatively, you can go directly to the Police or Children’s Social Care and report your concerns there.” Our club encourages everyone to know about this information and utilise it if necessary.

If the matter is urgent and you cannot contact our club or the Hampshire 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.

If you are a victim of historical sexual abuse in football please call 0800 023 2642
