SAFEGUARDING

New Zealand Football (NZF) and Southern Football are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable football environment for all.

​​​​​​​We recognise our responsibility to lead and encourage safe practices to ensure the welfare and best interests of children and vulnerable adults. 

To support the football system in this commitment we’ve developed the Guidelines for Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults and the supporting NZF Police Vetting System.​​​​​​​
