Safeguarding​​​​​​​ in Football

Overview

The safety and wellbeing of everyone in our football community is our top priority.

We are committed to creating environments where tamariki, rangatahi, and adults feel respected, supported, and safe on and off the pitch. New Zealand Football’s safeguarding approach ensures clear policy, training, and support are in place to protect those involved in the game at every level.
