Child Safeguarding System

    Committed to Child Protection

 
    At our club, children come first. We are fully aware of the responsibility that comes with working with children and adolescents in a sports environment, and for that reason, we have a firm and unwavering commitment to their protection and well-being. Our objective is clear: to build an Atlético de Madrid with zero tolerance towards any form of violence against children, and to ensure that all our spaces — training sessions, competitions, social and educational activities — are safe, protective, and free from risk.

    To achieve this, we have developed a strong and comprehensive Child Safeguarding System, aligned with current legislation and best national and international practices. This system includes specific measures for prevention, detection, response, and training, applicable to all individuals and activities involving minors across the club, including the Foundation.
