How to set up a DBS applicant using
Whole Game System
Here is a very quick guide to setting up a DBS applicant on the Whole Game System for those who are unsure.
I am now set up as an FA verifier so I should
be able to support the applications that are set up if you do not
have a member of the committee yet trained as a Welfare Officer.
Once you have added in the official it will be up to them to access
the whole game system and complete their end.
They can find the My DBS on the front page of their whole game page.
Once they have completed that there is a need
for all the documents that they have been selected (3 documents in
total) to be seen by either a club official or FA official, as the
verifier will need the details on the documents for the application
to be verified.
I have asked Hampshire FA when the next Welfare
Officer Workshop is being held but have not yet had an answer – as
soon as I am aware of a date I will circulate that to all club
secretaries.
Good
Practice will also be for all committee members to
undertake the Committee Member Safeguarding training which can be
found on the link below.

I would also suggest that any coaches or
managers that are directly involved with any players U18 take the FA
safeguarding course. The link is below.

The final step will be to ensure that all
parents and players U18 are aware who the Welfare Officer is at your
club, as well as who the Hampshire FA safeguarding officer is.
