Gow-Gates Risk Management iPhone App
Gow-Gates, through the FFA National Insurance Programme, have launched a Football Risk Management iPhone App for Affiliated Clubs. The App is designed to help clubs identify, assess, quantify, manage and monitor risks on matchdays with the assistance of an easy-to-use checklist. Key benefits include pre-loaded lists of Affiliated Clubs, GPS locations to pinpoint venues, the ability to add photographs of risks and the ease of keeping records (the app automatically saves and reports on the data entered by the clubs).
