Whistle-blowing
Whistle-blowing can be used as an early warning system or when it’s recognised that appropriate actions have not been taken. It is about revealing and raising concerns over misconduct or malpractice within an organisation, or within an independent structure associated with it.
Any adult or young person with concerns about a colleague can use whistle-blowing by contacting:
- The FA’s Safeguarding team on 0800 169 1863 Extension 6300 or 6400 or via email on safeguarding@TheFA.com.
- Alternatively, you can go direct to the Police or Children’s Social Services and report your concerns to them.
- Or contact the Child Protection in Sport Unit via cpsu@nspcc.org.uk
- Or the NSPCC Helpline on 0808 800 5000 or by emailing help@nspcc.org.uk
