About the course

The FA is committed to safeguarding children across the game in England.

From ensuring best practice and recognising poor practice to understanding how to report concerns quickly and effectively, we believe that making football fun, enjoyable and safe is everyone’s responsibility. Read more about The FA’s Respect Principles.

Our 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.
