LFE is committed to the welfare of all Apprentices and recognises that a number of personal problems may arise during their time on the ASE programme or beyond.
These may be in relation to sexual health, drug and alcohol abuse, gambling problems, financial issues or simply adjusting to the workload that a full time Apprentice away from home has to cope with.
If you are experiencing personal problems of this nature there are a number of people who are there to support you. The PFA offers the best source of support in these areas and as a member you are able to access a broad range of help through the agencies and partnerships the PFA have set up. To contact the PFA simply call 0161 236 0575 and ask to speak to one of the executives.
Other people able to offer support may include your parents or a trusted member of your Club/College staff. Your LFE Regional Officer is also there to help access support for you. Any discussions you have with your LFE Regional Officer will be treated in the strictest confidence and any further action they take will first be explained and agreed by you.
If you are unsure of your LFE Regional Officers contact details e-mail us using the facility available under the ‘Contact Us’ section of this website. All we need to know is the Club you are training at and we will be able to supply the LFE Regional Officer details to you.
LFE recommends that you talk to one of the above people or organisations about any problems you are experiencing. They will better understand your specific situation and be able to direct you to further help and support.
If for any reason you do not want to do this a number of useful websites are also available for you to use as sources of further information.
