The weekend of Saturday 30th September / Sunday 1st October is Play Safe weekend.
At the end of this month, English football at every level will unite to promote Play Safe – a national campaign to focus attention of the vital importance of safeguarding in our national game.
Led by The Football Association, the Play Safe campaign is endorsed by the NSPCC and supported by every level of the game, including the Premier League, EFL, Barclays Women’s Super League and Barclays Women’s Championship, and right across the grassroots game.
We are proud to be supporting Play Safe on our website and social media channels – and also by making an online Play Safe Pledge.
Of course, safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, so if you haven’t already, why not make your own Play Safe Pledge? We encourage you to do so.
“We will listen to our youth players and parent voice feedback, and work as a team to create a safe and enjoyable environment.” Kelly Robinson-Walton, Designated Safeguarding Officer at Barnsley FC.
This year’s Play Safe weekend has two main messages:
Together, let’s create an ever-safer culture across the game we all love.
