Many children and young people have a fantastic experience through football - some don't. This may be down to aggressive or pushy coaches and parents screaming and shouting from the sidelines. Respect highlights that this behaviour is unacceptable. We need to help coaches and parents understand the effect this behaviour can have and share positive ways to motivate young players.

Safeguarding Children is everyone's responsibility. Having welfare officers in all clubs and leagues with youth teams is key. Our simple three part approach includes:

- Creating a safe environment - Codes of Conduct and education courses
- Promoting clear systems to deal with any concerns - policy and procedures.
