GUIDANCE FOR DESIGNATED PERSON IN CHARTER STANDARD CLUBS
 
For those who have accepted to become the designated person within the individual clubs we would ask that their role is referred to as the nominated Child Protection Contact (CPC), this avoids any confusion between the role at County level and at clubs.
 
Each County Football Association (CFA) has a designated person for child Protection and they are referred to as the CFA Child Protection Officer (CPO).
