I am concerned about a child being mistreated, how can I report this?

Referring a concern can be done via your club, league or County FA – all will have a designated safeguarding officer (DSO). 
Alternatively, you can email us directly via safeguarding@thefa.com. If the matter is urgent and you cannot contact your club or County FA designated safeguarding officer, you can call The NSPCC 24-hour helpline on 0808 800 5000 – or if it is an emergency because a child or children are at immediate risk, then call the police or children’s social care in your area. If you are concerned that someone may be behaving inappropriately or seeking to groom a child in an online environment, then please use the CEOP reporting button that will take you directly to the team at the National Crime Agency, as well as informing your County FA or The FA via safeguarding@thefa.com
