Over 350,000 people have now attended our courses - that’s a lot of people who are more aware and helping to make football fun and safe.
From the 2016-17 season, as part of the Level 1 qualification, coaches take a module called ‘How We Support’. Part of this module is about safeguarding, which is made up of a two-hour course, followed by a one-hour online course, which is take in the learner’s own time. Once both parts are completed the safeguarding qualification is awarded. It provides a single source of reference and forms part of the evolving approach to the oversight of public safety, as evidenced in new legislation over the past few years. The welfare officer course is a requirement for everyone volunteering to be a club welfare officer.Safe standing areas are popular and the stadium should be stewarded with particular attention to preventing unauthorised entry which could lead to over-crowding. Incorporating wheelchair platforms into areas is important for the development of progressive inclusive and diverse range of supporters to engage with football. In accordance with section 2 of the 1975 Act and section 27 of the 1987 Act the local Council is required to include in the safety certificate such terms and conditions as it considers necessary or expedient to secure the reasonable safety of spectators. In determining the contents of a safety certificate the Council take account of the advice of Safety Advisory Group, a multi-agency advisory group including representatives of the emergency services, and also the guidance published by the SGSA, the so called Green Guide. Should clubs wish to create a safe standing area, a thorough risk assessment of the installation will be required and consideration given to the club's duties under health and safety and fire safety law to ensure that they are not in breach of these regimes. Such risk assessments should look at the engineering of the provisions, their effect on crowd behaviours within and beyond the safe standing section, the changes in access and egress flows, and the nature and scope of stewarding. Understandably the avoidable tragedy that befell the 96 Liverpool FC supporters who lost their lives at Hillsborough Stadium on 15 April 1989 has continued to inform regulation of the safety of football spectators. In the immediate aftermath of Hillsborough the existing legislation, the Safety at Sports Grounds Act 1975, was swiftly augmented by the Football Spectators Act 1989. That Act required that football grounds be licensed, through the Football Licensing Authority, to admit spectators. Significantly it introduced criminal penalties for breaching that requirement.
Clubs have a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 to ensure the health and safety of employees, spectators, and other members of the public affected by their activities, so far as is reasonably practicable. This means that businesses should not expose those individuals to a material risk, i.e. one that is more than minimal or trivial, without taking significant measures to eliminate or mitigate the risk. Clubs will therefore need to assess the risks of standing areas and the necessary control measures. to understand further the potential implications of introducing permitted standing areas, research should be framed around the safety implications of standing in all-seater stadia, versus managed standing in alternative accommodation. Given the serious impact that a progressive crowd collapse could have, strengthening evidence on the extent to which this is a risk in different stadia with different types of crowd, and the role that crush barriers could play in preventing this, appears to be a priority."
