- Staff in community club organisations in the EFLT who support disability programmes.
What if I need to report a concern?
If you have a safeguarding adult concern, speak to your club's Adult CWO.
If they're not available or you don't have one, contact your local county FA and ask for the designated safeguarding officer.
You can also email safeguarding@thefa.com.
