This weekend, we proudly join clubs across the country in supporting the FA Play Safe campaign, backed by the NSPCC and embraced at every level of English football — from the Premier League to grassroots.

🔊 This year’s theme: “Small Talk is Bigger Than You Think”  
 It’s a reminder that safeguarding starts with conversation. We’re encouraging every adult in football — coaches, parents, volunteers — to create space for young voices. Ask questions. Listen deeply. Let children know they’re heard, valued, and safe.

At Oswaldtwistle St Mary's, safeguarding isn’t just policy — it’s culture. Together, we’re building a club where every child feels supported, respected, and empowered to speak up.

💬 Because small talk can spark big change.
