The Premier League

The Premier League is the governing body of the Premier League football competition with responsibility for the organisation and regulation of the League, through the application of its rules to Clubs and their officials. These rules include the safeguarding measures which Clubs are required to adopt.

The Premier League has a dual role in supporting Clubs with the implementation of their safeguarding arrangements, and in monitoring and evaluating the adequacy of each Club’s safeguarding procedures and practices. Additionally, the Premier League has its own safeguarding policies and procedures which underpin its central activities.

Clubs

Clubs are required to implement safeguarding procedures and practices consistent with football authority regulations, relevant legislation and statutory guidance. Club compliance with our safeguarding Rules is subject to regular independent audit.
