A brilliant day of keeping up the conversation! 🙌

Yesterday, Derbyshire FA showcased Play Safe Weekend across the county, with the morning seeing our staff heading out to local parks to visit grassroots games and check in with clubs, coaches and parents.

In the afternoon, we headed to Derby County Women vs West Bromwich Albion Women to continue spreading the Play Safe message and highlight the importance of keeping those conversations going.

A massive thanks to Derby County Women for getting involved on matchday ⚽️

Take a look at some of our pictures from the day! 📸

Keep asking. Keep listening. Keep up the convo. Play Safe.

This weekend is Play Safe Weekend, and this year it’s all about keeping up the convo. 🗣️

We teamed up with Derby County Women U16s & U15s and Derby County Community Trust to create this short video highlighting why those everyday conversations matter.

Ask questions. Listen. Keep talking.

Because small talk is bigger than you think.

Keep up the convo. Play Safe. ⚽
