Royal Navy FA - developing football for everyone
Governance - safeguarding the game

Safeguarding Children

Child protection is high on The FA's and the RNFA's agenda. The goal is to have someone at every club in the country aware of child protection and best practice, whether it's a professional club with an Academy or a Sunday morning youth side. Safeguarding is about doing things the right way, doing things properly. It's about allowing children to enjoy the game without abuse of any kind. That means bullying, physical, emotional or sexual abuse and neglect.

The FA and the RNFA believe football can have a powerful, positive influence on children. But that means everyone involved in football must take on the responsibility of looking after those children that want to play the game.

Safeguarding Children Workshops 

The Safeguarding Children Workshop is a three hour workshop which aims to encourage a safer environment for everyone. You will be encouraged to discuss some of the most important Child Protection issues in football. The aim is to explore what appropriate and inappropriate behaviour looks, sounds and feels like. Clear guidance is given on best practice in football and on what actions should be taken if there are worries about the welfare of a child or young person.
