Welcome to PostGuard × Football Academies
Protect what you post. Protect your football community.
PostGuard and Football Academies are working together to help players, junior teams, families, coaches, volunteers and everyone involved with your club stay safer online.
A single photo, caption or social media comment can expose a location, identify a child, reveal travel plans, damage a reputation or lead to bullying, impersonation and fraud. Our partnership makes practical tools, guidance and regular training easier to access across the league.

Helping everyone at your club
From first-team players and coaches to parents, junior sections, grounds teams, volunteers and safeguarding officers, online safety is a shared responsibility. PostGuard training supports — but does not replace — your club’s safeguarding policies and reporting arrangements.
For a child safeguarding concern, follow your club’s safeguarding procedures. Do not upload sensitive child safeguarding evidence into a general-purpose checker.
