Clubs that achieved Charter Standard accreditation before 1st July 2017 are required to complete the annual health check to ensure they are continuing to satisfy the criteria they met when applying for CS status. The process provides clubs with the opportunity to show their dedication towards raising standards, implementing respect and prioritising safe & well organised opportunities for all.The annual health check also gives clubs the chance to make sure that all club officials and coaches hold the relevant qualifications for the role they hold.

The seasonal check can be completed on the Whole Game System and can be accessed by the following club members; secretary, CS Coordinator, Welfare Officer or Chairman using their FA Number (FAN) and password. The Charter Standard annual health check needs to be completed by the 31st March 2018; clubs failing to complete their Health Check risk having their accreditation lapse or suspended.
