Fifa puts plans in place to offer extra support to sexual abuse survivors

SURVIVORS of sexual abuse are to receive enhanced support from Fifa, it has been reported.

Football’s world governing body has approved a “care package” system for abuse survivors, which can be accessed potentially as soon as an allegation is brought forward.

This package of support will be co-ordinated by a case-management officer, who will be responsible for ensuring the process is as simple and secure as possible.
