Safeguarding children and adults at risk relies on individuals, clubs and leagues working together to:

promote wellbeing
prevent harm and reduce the risk of abuse or neglect
respond to any concerns.

The FA has policies, processes and best practice guidance to help you and your club. These will help protect under 18s and adults at risk. As a coach, you must follow the law and guidance to create ever-safer football environments.
