This year’s Play Safe weekend is taking place on 28/ 29 September.

We’re committing to making sure everyone knows their role in safeguarding and what Play Safe is all about.

How to get your club involved

Here are three simple things you can do:

1. Spread the word

Talk to people at your club about Play Safe. Make sure members know what it is, how they can get involved, and what their individual safeguarding roles are.

2. Visit the Play Safe portal

Free Merchandise – your club have access to free merchandise, like pin badges and armbands.

New this year – you can also purchase brand new Play Safe-branded pitchside banners, to show your support for Play Safe throughout the season.

Visit: playsafe.teamgrassroots.co.uk to register your club and claim your free resources.

Feel free to start using your merchandise when it arrives. We’d love to see your pictures/ videos of the Play Safe logo in action around your club. It’s essential that you have informed consent in place for everyone that is featured in your content before sharing it with us.

3. Get ready for the Play Safe weekend 2024

On 28/29 September, all of football will unite to celebrate our collective safeguarding effort throughout the season.

This year, we want as many Kent leagues, clubs and people as possible showing up for the weekend to celebrate everyone knowing their role in keeping football safe.

Make sure you save the date for your club and spread the word to members.
