At AFC Burnden Park, our number one concern is the safety and welfare of your child who plays for the club. All our coaching staff have a valid CRC check, FA approved emergency aid qualification and have attended the FA Safeguarding Children workshop. These are updated and refreshed periodically in line with FA guidelines.
