Player welfare
Safeguarding & Child Protection
Every child matters. Every player deserves protection.
Our commitment
A safe place to learn and grow
Dante Football Academy is committed to providing an environment where every player is treated with care, dignity and respect.
Player welfare sits at the centre of football development and personal development. Our commitment is to protect children, support education, build character and strengthen the communities around them.
Every child matters
Potential is not defined by circumstance
We believe every child deserves the chance to dream, grow and be seen. Each young person should be valued for their commitment, character and willingness to develop.
Every player can become a responsible person and a positive influence.
Safe and inclusive environment

The academy is committed to a safe, respectful and inclusive experience for every player.
Equal opportunity
Equal opportunities regardless of background, religion, tribe, gender or financial situation.

Protection from all forms of abuse, bullying and discrimination.
Positive role models
Positive role models who lead with integrity and professionalism.
Respect, dignity and wellbeing
A culture built on trust
Every child's rights, dignity and wellbeing deserve respect. We encourage trust, teamwork, unity and mutual respect throughout the academy environment.
- Respect for coaches, teammates and others
- Discipline, responsibility and resilience
- Communication, teamwork and leadership
- Positive behaviour on and off the pitch
Education and development
Building better players by building better people
DANTE believes education comes before football. Football may open doors, while education provides young people with knowledge, confidence and skills for life on and off the pitch.
We encourage every player to:
- remain actively engaged in school;
- value learning alongside athletic development;
- develop discipline, leadership and responsibility;
- build communication and teamwork skills;
- become a positive role model; and
- prepare for life beyond football.
