Club Welfare Officers
The club Welfare Officer is Kirsty Bush who can be contacted on 07973137660 or dash.bush@virgin.net. If she cannot be contacted and the matter is urgent please contact Trevor Sostacenko on 07771547227 or eaglessos@aol.com.
The club welfare officers have the responsibility for ensuring that children and young people who play for the Eagles can play football in a safe and non threatening environment, and are not subject to any physical or oral abuse. If you have any concerns whether they arise from the behaviour of a team official or another adult associated with the club, or indeed a visiting team, please discuss them with Kirsty or Trevor. Club welfare officers will also report any incidents of serious abuse that are drawn to their attention to the appropriate authorities, irrespective of whether that abuse may occurred outside the football environment.

In all sports and physical activities, sports coaches and clubs have an important role to play both in developing young people and their sporting skills, but also in creating a safe environment."
