‘In wake of recent news regarding safeguarding in Football, we feel it to be of utmost importance to write to you in relation to your son’s footballing programme whilst they are here at Yeovil Town FC Academy.

At Yeovil Town FC Academy all Coaches undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service(DBS) check, previously known as a CRB and attend and complete the Safeguarding Course provided by the F.A before they commence working with your children.
Should you feel at risk or concerned then please do not hesitate to contact myself, Kelly Roberts (Welfare Officer) 01935 847880 ext 270.

Yours Faithfully,
Kelly Roberts
