This cannot be done via the Whole Game System and will need to be purchased directly from our appointed Insurers Bluefin, attached is a brochure detailing the levels of cover and how to purchase the insurance.

Benevolent Fund

Due to the increase in claims from the Cornwall FA Benevolent Fund over the last 18 months we have had to increase contributions from clubs, this money is used to support participants who suffer injuries and require financial assistance. All clubs are required to pay a  £5 contribution

Safeguarding and Welfare Requirements

It is mandatory for all clubs to have a qualified Welfare Officer, if your clubs is going through a change in relation to this role and requires some guidance then please contact the Cornwall FA designated Safeguarding Officer Claire Summers-Evans on Claire.summers-evans@cornwallfa.com  or call 01208 262989.

Club Secretaries, Chairperson, Treasurers and Welfare Officers must have completed the online Safeguarding for Committee Members workshop, if they have already completed this then there is no requirement to do so again, however if they have not taken the workshop before you will find details of how they can complete this below. 

All managers and Coaches assigned to a team MUST have an in date FA approved DBS, for those individuals who do not have an in date DBS, the Club Welfare Officer will need to be contacted to have one completed.
