The Safeguarding Awareness for Parents & Carers' course is designed to help you to make an informed choice about the football setting you enrol your child in.

This course only takes 30 minutes and will help you:

• Know what safeguarding is and that you have a role to play as a parent or carer.
• Understand that children's football should be centred around the needs and wellbeing of children.
• Increase awareness of the different forms, signs and indicators of abuse, including ‘grooming’ as well as understanding what constitutes poor practice, and how this links to abuse.
• Increase your confidence regarding what safeguards should be in place at a child's club or football setting, and how to check this.
• Increase your awareness of reporting concerns through recognised channels.
• Increase your awareness of the behaviours that are expected in children’s football environments

All parents who successfully complete the Safeguarding Awareness for Parents & Carers before Sunday 19 February 2023 will automatically be entered into the prize draw to win a signed England shirt.
