FFP is designed to increase participation in historically underrepresented backgrounds and whilst we would like to award everybody a place due to the popularity of the programme, the volume of applications is extremely high with only a number of places awarded. We want to create a more inclusive workforce and have committed to offering 20% of all places on UEFA C, UEFA B & Introduction to Coaching Football for free using FFP. [SL1] [EW2] [SL3]
The FA[DM4] is committed to helping those who meet the criteria and wishes to award funding based on the fairest way possible. This includes a review of all applications and a final decision being made by an awarding panel.
We welcome applications from coaches who fit into one or more of the following categories:
- Female coaches
- Coaches from ethnically diverse backgrounds
- Coaches from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds
- Coaches with disabilities

[SL1]This copy should mirror the copy on the website which is clearer and highlights the % of FFP places.
The Fully-Funded Places Programme has been developed to support coaches who may be facing barriers to getting involved. We want to create a more inclusive coaching workforce and will be offering 20% of all places on Introduction to Coaching Football, UEFA C Licence and UEFA B Licence for free as part of the programme. The places have been funded by Sport England.
[EW2]This is the same for the UEFA C FAQ already on the website? Does it need changing?
Yes please Emma [SL3]
Would suggest changing to England Football Learning [DM4]
