Play Safe Weekend with Durham County FA 

Thank you for all of your collective efforts regarding the Play Safe Weekend on Saturday and Sunday 1 and 2 October 2022

This weekend seen many teams across County FA's all over England come together and support the Play Safe weekend campaign. Here at Durham County FA we provided teams with Play Safe Weekend captain armbands to drive greater awareness of the safeguarding practice and culture in your club or organisation. 

 The campaign is initially supported by the NSPCC as well as the Premier League, EFL, Barclay's Women's Super League and Barclay's Women's Championship. It's also being backed by every other level of the game across England.

This year’s focus remains on the key role of parents/carers in safeguarding, with two main messages being conveyed:

• Are you aware of the vital safeguarding role you play in football?
• Please take the new, short and free safeguarding course specifically developed for parents/carers, which can be accessed here.
