Out-of-school activities form a vital part of community life, with millions of children and young people participating regularly in everything from sports, music and arts to tutoring and youth groups. This vibrant sector is supported by approximately 4.5 million adults who work or volunteer in these settings. 

The Department for Education’s Out-Of-School Settings Safeguarding Call for Evidence is an opportunity to share your views on how we can make these settings as safe as possible. Help build a clearer picture of what’s working and where more support could help.
