    • Welcome to FIFA Guardians™ Promoting Wider Safeguarding Change

      This course is for Global Football Community Learners and is part of the FIFA Guardians™ Safeguarding in Football Award.

      This course introduces a new topic – safeguarding in the digital world – and looks forward to helping you think about how your organisation might learn from safeguarding experiences and develop a positive safeguarding culture.

      The aim is to assist your organisation to keep moving forward on your safeguarding journey. The course will also reinforce your existing knowledge and help you to identify organisational strengths and weaknesses.

      This course, consisting of approximately 7 hours of online learning and a quiz, can be completed at your own pace. 

      It is important to know that completing this education programme will not guarantee footballing environments and activities to be 100% safe. Inappropriately designed programmes and poor operational management can put people, especially children and youth, at risk of harm. We hope that by taking this course, risk of harm can be identified and reduced and that everyone can participate in football in a safe and supportive environment, free from all forms of harassment and abuse.

      If you have a concern about the content of this course, you can report it by clicking on the 'Report a concern' button.

      4. Score 70% or higher in the end-of-course quiz. If you don’t pass it first time, you can retake the whole quiz again as many times as you need until you do pass.

      Please note: If you are a Nominated FIFA Learner, you need to enrol on the Nominated FIFA Learner pathway.

      Finally, we want to celebrate your achievement in reaching the end of this Football Award and to recognise your learning journey so far.
