KEEP UP THE CONVO WITH PLAY SAFE 2026
This year, Play Safe is asking every adult in football to Keep Up The Convo with children and young people – not just over Play Safe Weekend, but throughout the season.
Safeguarding isn’t only about knowing what to do when something’s wrong. It’s also about creating regular opportunities for children and young people to share what matters to them – and showing them their views are heard and taken seriously.
On the pitch. On the sidelines. On the way home. At pick-up and drop-off. Everyday moments are opportunities to Keep Up The Convo.
Keep it light. Start with fun and easy topics.
Keep it open. Ask open questions and give them space to share.
Keep it active. Reflect, repeat, respond. Show you’re really listening.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL. AND YOUR EARS ON THE CONVO
The 3rd and 4th October 2026 - Play Safe Weekend.
