FA Charter Standard Health Check

To keep the FA Charter Standard programme current and in line with the FA’s National Game Strategy criteria changes were introduced in July 2009. It was also agreed that an Annual Health Check for FA Charter Standard Clubs be introduced for season 2010/11.

This will replace the existing three year renewal process and will provide the following benefits:

• Annually inform clubs of their current status in relation to meeting the FA Charter Standard criteria
• Support clubs in tracking the validity of their voluntary workforce in relation to coach education and welfare
• Allow clubs to identify their workforce / coach education requirements for the season
• Reduce the number of instances when after three years clubs cannot meet the criteria and have to lose their accreditation and re-write a whole new application form
• Provide greater communication and support for clubs from their County FA
• Provide clubs with online tools through Member Services
• Provide consistent benefits annually to each club who completes the Health Check
