Safeguarding

---

Safeguarding is our utmost priority. We are unwaveringly dedicated to providing a safe and secure environment for all individuals involved in our supported programs, particularly children, young people and vulnerable adults. Our commitment to safeguarding extends across every level of our organisation, from trustees to staff, ensuring that everyone understands and upholds our stringent safeguarding policies and procedures.

We proactively promote a culture of vigilance, education and transparency, where concerns are taken seriously, reported promptly and addressed with urgency and sensitivity. Our team undergoes regular training to recognise, prevent and respond effectively to safeguarding risks, upholding the highest standards of protection for all participants.

Through robust risk assessments, clear guidelines and appropriate background checks for staff and trustees, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected and supported. We work collaboratively with relevant stakeholders, authorities and agencies to continuously improve our safeguarding practices and ensure they align with current best practices and legal requirements.

At The England Football Charity, safeguarding is not just a policy but an ongoing commitment to the well-being and protection of every individual we support. We pledge to maintain an environment where individuals can thrive, free from harm or abuse.
