The FA’s Official
Holding Statement
Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups |
|
|
|
|
|
We are aware of the debate that is
running and the issues that this is raising. As you will be aware,
we have been working with other sports, the CPSU and government in
relation to the implications of this scheme.
Please keep referring people to the holding statement on
www.thefa.com/footballsafe. We intend to provide further
information soon in relation to ISA.
An FA spokesman said, 'We will be working with the Vetting and
Barring Scheme alongside CRB, to assess the suitability of those
working with children and vulnerable adults in football.
With regards to the statements in the media, the information below
clarifies the requirements after 26 July 2010.
Anyone working or volunteering on behalf of a third party
organisation for example a football club who has frequent or
intensive access to children or vulnerable adults will have to be
registered with the scheme. The FA will guide the implementation
process and we have 5 years in which to phase the roll out across
football based on a risk assessment approach.
The Vetting and Barring Scheme does not cover personal or family
relationships, so parents making informal arrangements to give lifts
to children will not have to be vetted.
Changes from 26 July 2010 will be communicated nearer the time when
the exact requirements are formalised by the government.'
I would also be grateful if you could add a link on the website to
CEOP (The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre). |
