Welfare - Safeguarding
At Mere Town Youth Football Club our main concern is the safety and welfare of the children who play for the club and the adults that work with them.
All our coaches have valid DBS checks and have attended FA Safeguarding children courses. These are updated and refreshed in line with FA guidelines.
The club's Welfare Officer (CWO) is Corrie Tatum.
