These include ensuring that your club & team officials are correct and their qualifications are up to date. 

You can access your club & team officials visiting the Clubs Portal as shown below. 

Any club & team officials will be shown in the following lists - which will also include their qualification status and whether any action is required before being able to affiliate.

SAFEGUARDING DECLARATIONS

ALL clubs will be required to adopt the FA's Safeguarding Declaration(s) during the affiliation process, however to speed this up, these documents can be adopted from today. 

You can access these documents by going to MY CLUB > DOCUMENTATION > SAFEGUARDING DOCUMENTS

Although you can adopt all, your mandatory documentation will be displayed based upon the formats in which your club offers.
