Expression of Interest Form

The Dorset County FA would also like to run another FA Welfare Officer Workshop as we are aware that clubs may have new Welfare Officers or assistants in place. In order to do this we need to have sufficient numbers to appoint a tutor to run the course. The Expression of Interest pro forma also has a box to tick if you feel that this is something that your club is interested in.

You will need to email FAChecks@TheFA.com and provide them with the following information:
