Newcastle United backs Play Safe weekend
Newcastle United and Newcastle United Foundation are continuing their support of safeguarding and welfare in football, joining forces with The FA, Premier League and football organisations to support a national safeguarding initiative.
Led by The Football Association, the Play Safe campaign is endorsed by the NSPCC and will be supported this weekend across every level of English football, including the Premier League, EFL, Barclays Women's Super League and Barclays Women's Championship, and across the grassroots game.
Newcastle United and Newcastle United Foundation are raising awareness of the Play Safe campaign through a number of initiatives, engaging with players of all ages and parents, along with communities throughout the North East.
Support will be shown across club channels and within workshops and Foundation programmes, whilst the captains of both Newcastle United and Burnley will wear bespoke Play Safe armbands at St. James' Park this weekend.
This year's Play Safe weekend focuses on the safeguarding role everyone has to play - coach, player, parent/carer, spectator or volunteer - to keep children and young people safe, no matter what the football setting. EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME is encouraged to WATCH, LISTEN, TALK and ACT if they have any safeguarding concerns.
