Safeguarding matters/incidents are categorised into four tiers;

Tier 1 – Poor Practice – Club Managed Matters

Tier 2 – Poor Practice – County FA + Club Managed Matters

Tier 3 - Serious Cases – FA Case Management + County FA

Tier 4 – Serious Cases (Including abuse) – FA Case Management + Statutory Services (Police, Local Authority Designated Officer, Children’s Services)

There is a procedure for reporting concerns for each threshold;

Tier 1 - Contact your Club Welfare Officer

Tier 2 - Contact your Club Welfare Officer and email safeguarding@devonfa.com

Tier 3 + 4 - If the case involves a child who may be at risk of harm or abuse, the referral must be made via email to

safeguarding@thefa.com
