Safeguarding & child safety

RoadKickers is for players aged 13 and over. We take the safety of under-18s seriously and build protections in by default.

• Under-18s have a private profile by default — visible to their connections and clubmates, not to strangers or the public.
• Under-18s don't appear in search and can't be found by people outside their network. Their location is never shared.
• Adults cannot privately message under-18s. Coaches and players talk in the club's group chat, where messages are visible to the club.
• An under-18's photos and videos can't be made public — only their network can see them.
• Anyone can report or block another user or a piece of content, at any time.

If something doesn't feel right — a message, a photo, or someone's behaviour — please tell us.

• Use the Report option on any message, profile or moment (tap and hold, or the "…" menu). Reports come to our team.
• If a child is in immediate danger, call 999. For advice about a child's safety, contact the NSPCC or CEOP below.

• Treat everyone with respect — no bullying, harassment or discrimination.
• Only share photos and videos you have the right to share. Never share images that could put a young person at risk.
• Adults involved with youth football are expected to follow their club and FA safeguarding rules and codes of conduct.
