Community Guidelines

Be professional and kind. Harassment, bullying, intimidation, hate speech and discrimination of any kind are not welcome here.

Many members are young. Hold yourself to a higher standard when interacting with anyone who may be under 18.

Never contact an under-18 for anything other than legitimate, age-appropriate football or career reasons. Do not ask a young member to move the conversation off WFN, to share personal contact details, or to meet in private.

Any sexualised contact with a minor, grooming behaviour, or requests for images is strictly prohibited and will be reported to the authorities.

Use your real identity. Impersonation, fake profiles and misrepresenting who you are or who you represent are not allowed.

Don't use WFN for spam, scams, or to promote things unrelated to women's football opportunities.

Don't post content that is violent, sexually explicit, illegal, or that encourages self-harm or dangerous behaviour.

Respect others' privacy — don't share someone else's personal information without their consent.

If you see something that breaks these guidelines, report it using the Report option on a profile or conversation. Reports are confidential.

Depending on what's happened, we may hide content, restrict messaging, suspend or remove accounts, and — where a child may be at risk — refer the matter to law enforcement and relevant safeguarding agencies. Every action our team takes is recorded.

For safeguarding concerns, email safeguarding@womensfootballnetwork.co.uk. If someone is in immediate danger, call 999. You can also contact CEOP, the NSPCC (0808 800 5000) or Childline (0800 1111).
