A friendly security guard By Steven Moore, Managing Director of Security at OCS UK.

Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults at all levels of football stadia, from the Premier League to the National League, is a fundamental duty of the security staff and stewards employed on match days. It is their responsibility to ensure the game is a safe, positive and enjoyable experience for all match‑goers, whether they be spectators, athletes, competitors, performers, or even members of the venue staff.

Children and vulnerable adults in particular may be at a higher degree of risk due to large crowds, unruly behaviour and other safety concerns that may compromise their safety on match days.
