Aston Villa are introducing the use of purple wristbands on matchdays at Villa Park to help keep children safe.
Providing a safe environment for all as well as a duty of care for everyone’s welfare is a core priority in all we do at the club. This is especially the case on matchdays at Villa Park.
Therefore, starting from our home fixture against Watford on Saturday, February 19, staff in the family Fan Zone will be offering parents the opportunity to receive a purple wristband that your child can wear.
Included on the wristband will be the opportunity for parents to include their contact details.
If your child was to become separated from you or felt unsafe, they could approach a steward or another member of staff and show their wristband.
Stewards or staff can then duly contact parents and/or Aston Villa Head of Safeguarding Andy Bowly for assistance and support.
Please support this initiative and ensure everyone is safe on matchdays.
