The whole of football in England – at every level – has joined forces to promote ‘Play Safe’, an ongoing national campaign to focus attention on the vital importance of safeguarding in football. Play Safe is officially supported by the NSPCC and is not a one-off campaign – there will be a designated Play Safe weekend every season. It will also be used to support other safeguarding-related events during the year, e.g. Anti-Bullying Week, Safer Internet Day and NSPCC Parents in Sport Week. | Whatever your role in football – whether an active participant, an administrator, or a parent please remember safeguarding of children is everyone’s responsibility.
