One of the main roles of the Club Welfare Officer is to verify Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Disclosures of individuals who regularly work with children at the Club.

The FA CRB Unit is now using a new application form. This form is purple and has been in use since 1st July 2010. All previous white CRB forms should be disposed of.

Club Welfare Officers may obtain new CRB forms by contacting The FA CRB Unit Tel: 0845 2108080 Email: FAChecks@thefa.com  

All information regarding the new CRB application form is available by clicking the following website: http://thefa.com/TheFA/WhatWeDo/CRB  

This is merely a new application form. Club Welfare Officers need to continue to verify CRB forms of those volunteering/working with children who are new to football and renew individuals’ CRB Disclosures every three years.
