Safeguarding at Manchester City is everyone’s responsibility

At Manchester City, the safety, wellbeing, rights and dignity of every person we engage with are our highest priority. We are committed to creating environments where everyone feels safe, respected, valued and able to thrive.

Safeguarding is central to our culture and embedded across every aspect of Club activity. We believe that everyone has a role to play in preventing harm, promoting wellbeing and ensuring concerns are listened to, taken seriously and acted upon.

Through strong leadership, clear accountability and a commitment to continuous improvement, we strive to deliver the highest standards of safeguarding across all areas of the Club. This includes safer recruitment, robust policies and procedures, ongoing training and effective reporting and response mechanisms.

We comply with all relevant legislation and regulatory requirements, including those of the Football Association, Premier League and Manchester Safeguarding Partnership.

Our Safe at City framework brings together the policies, practices and standards that help ensure everyone who interacts with Manchester City can do so in a safe, positive and inclusive environment.
