Safeguarding: Keeping Football Safe and Enjoyable - What YOU Need to Know 5 of 10

5. Code of Conduct for Parents, Carers and Spectators [Feb 2021]


If we behave positively during practice and matches, our children will too. By setting a good example, we’ll help build a supportive environment in which everyone can enjoy themselves.

PLAY YOUR PART AND SUPPORT THE FA’s CODE OF RESPECT:

Have fun; it’s what we’re all here for!

  • Celebrate effort and good play from both sides
  • always respect the Referee and coaches and encourage players to do the same
  • Stay behind the touchline and within the Designated Spectators’ Area (where provided)
  • When players make mistakes, offer them encouragement to try again next time
  • Never engage in or tolerate offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour
  • Ensure all match and training fees are paid promptly
  • Ensure that my children arrive on time and when applicable, collected on time, and give the manager as much notice as possible when my child is unavailable

I understand that if I do not follow the Code, I may be;

  • Issued with a verbal warning or asked to leave
  • Required to meet with the club committee, league or CFA Welfare Officer
  • Obliged to undertake an FA education course
  • Requested not to attend future games, be suspended or have my club membership removed
  • Required to leave the club along with any dependents and/or issued a fine
