The Premier League will join the EFL, Barclays Women’s Super League and Barclays Women’s Championship, as every level of English football shows its support for the Play Safe campaign, which is led by The Football Association and endorsed by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).

Over the weekend, Premier League captains will wear Play Safe armbands to help raise awareness of the ongoing work by the League and clubs to support participants across all football activity.

This year’s Play Safe weekend focuses on the safeguarding role that everyone has to play – coaches, players, parents/carers, spectators or volunteers – to keep children and young people safe, no matter what the football setting. Everyone, everywhere, every time is encouraged to watch, listen, talk and act if they have any safeguarding concerns.

Play Safe aims to unite football at every level in England in order to create an ever-safer culture across the game.
