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. Our pledge will see us at Wessex Youth follow and support
through football and safe play.
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.
“Safeguarding is
the most important item on our minds at all times at Wessex youth” Wessex 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 Wessex Youth / Faye Hegarty @
01458 270900
Together, let’s create an
ever-safer culture across the game we all love.
Your Wessex Committee
