The Football Safety App and Chelsea Without Barriers are now official partners.

The Football Safety App empowers fans and clubs to report and clamp down on all forms of abuse, whether it happens in the stadium, on the way to the game or online, with real–time alerts and clear guidance on what crosses the line. 

The app protects players and supporters alike by reinforcing the notion that passion and tribalism are welcome, but abusive behaviour is not, and it allows people to do their bit to bring an end to it.
