The Football Association is to introduce a phased programme of vetting across all aspects football for those adults with direct access to children or young people.

The FA has already registered with the Criminal Records Bureau and is currently undertaking a pilot project with a view to establishing a new vetting programme.

The FA is already leading the way in child protection. Training continues with workshops and the recently published Child protection and best practice - A guide. The aim is for every club in the country to put child protection at the top of its agenda.
