Safeguarding, Welfare and Mental Health
Select Soccer is dedicated to making sure all our participants, parents, guardians and coaches feel safe and welcome at all of our Coaching Centres and sessions. We have several Safeguarding and Welfare Officers on hand to hear any concerns or worries you may have whilst attending our programmes. Please find below their contact details along with other organisations you may feel comfortable to contact and talk to if necessary.
​
With the rise of awareness about Mental Health and how many lives are impacted by it, Select Soccer is proud to announce we now have a Level 1 trained Mental Health 1st aider on site, who is there to listen to any concerns regarding Mental Health and are able to signpost to further organisations who will be able to offer more in depth help, with regards to those individuals experiencing poor Mental Health or just need someone to talk to.
​
If you or someone you know needs to reach out and talk to someone, please know Select Soccer have people who are there willing and ready to listen to you.
