Surrey FA's Designated Safeguarding Manager Phil Rendell talks to us about the FA-led national safeguarding campaign - the annual Play Safe Weekend.

This year that’s on 28th/29th September, when the whole of football in England – from the professional game to the grassroots, and every level in between – joins forces to promote awareness of the importance of safeguarding across the game we all love.

Once again the Play Safe weekend is endorsed by leading children’s charity the NSPCC and will see a huge range of activity across the nation, fuelled by the encouragement and resources The FA provides.

“The central push behind this year’s weekend is to create awareness among individuals of the vital safeguarding role they can play in football. It really is about Everyone Everywhere, Every Time,” says Sue Ravenlaw, FA Head of Safeguarding.

Our guest today is Elle Kaplicz, referee within the female and male game. We talk about how she got into the game and the way the female game has changed and developed. Elle spoke about how important her Mentor was for her personal development and growth in the game.

Elle also told us what changes she would like to see implemented if she had a magic wand.
