UK Coaching Backs Trusted Adult Guarantee from Football Beyond Borders

Generations of young men face growing harm from a toxic online subculture unless the UK government takes action to ensure every young person has access to a trusted adult outside the family, according to a new taskforce launching today. UK Coaching is proud to announce its support for the ‘Lost Boys Taskforce’, a vital initiative from Football Beyond Borders (FBB), which aims to ensure that every young person has access to a trained, trusted adult in their lives. 

Their call for the government to provide a Trusted Adult Guarantee, giving young people across Britain the support of a role model outside their family, aligns closely with our ongoing mission to champion safe, inclusive, and person-centred coaching environments. It also reinforces our belief in the transformative power of positive relationships in youth development. 

Most importantly, at the heart of this partnership lies a shared commitment to safeguarding, well-being, and holistic development. UK Coaching believes that coaches often serve not only as instructors but also as informal mentors and role models, and this is extremely present in community and extracurricular settings.
