Re: Youth football - who's set up a team from scratch?

You'll need a child welfare officer, you'll need first aid, safeguarding children certification and of course a CRB check run on yourself (it's called something slightly different now).

My advice would be to find an existing club and affiliate yourself to that.

Most clubs would expect (and likely fund) your Level 1 qualification which would also cover first aid & safeguarding.

Good luck.
