Saturday 30th Sept/Sunday 1st October
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 . Our pledge will see us promote safeguarding on our website and social media channels.
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.
“At Almondsbury, we aim to create a safe and happy environment for all our players and families. We encourage our players and their parents to watch the videos that we post regarding safeguarding, to read the safeguarding documents on our website and of course, to contact our Child Welfare Officer for further information.”
Chris Hancock, Club Chairman
This year’s Play Safe weekend has two main messages:
‘Everyone, everywhere, every time’ should have an understanding of safeguarding in football;
Everyone should ‘watch, listen, talk and act’ if they have any safeguarding concerns.
If you have a safeguarding concern, or would like some advice, the person to contact at Almondsbury (United) FC is Emma Pople on almondsburycwo@gmail.com .
Together, let’s create an ever-safer culture across the game we all love.
