Five Tips To Stay Safe ONLINE

 

  • Make all of your social media accounts private.
  • Report any concerns.
  • Don't post any personal information online like your home address, email address or mobile number.
  • Don't add people you don't know or meet up with people you've met online.
  • Think carefully before posting pictures or videos of yourself - Once uploaded, most people can see it and may be able to download it.

Volunteering is a great way to give back to the footballing community. It is the platform that has given me the opportunity to develop my skills both professionally and personally. I wouldn't be the individual I am today without volunteering.

The new campaign highlights the importance of positive behaviour towards young footballers,specifically looking at the impact parents and coaches can have.

Gareth Southgate and stars from the England National Team have supported the campaign, which has had great success nationwide.
