Wellbeing & Safeguarding
At Football Focused we are extremely focused on the wellbeing and safety of your child as a number one priority. We aim to provide the safest environment as possible that aligns with all of our safeguarding, wellbeing and health and safety policies. All of our coaches have a designated level 2 PVG Award to allow them to work with our players. All our coaches have been accustomed to our policies and also have undergone Children wellbeing, Safeguarding and Mental Health coaching courses provided through the Scottish Football Association.
