Open-Air Children's Clubs

Safeguarding and wellbeing records, kept together.

A simple, secure way for coaches and volunteers to record concerns, and for the person responsible for safeguarding or welfare to see what was raised, what was done and what happened next. For football, rugby, cricket, athletics and other open-air children’s clubs.

Your club does not need to be Ofsted registered to use On the Button.

What On the Button helps your club do

Small things can matter

A comment from a child.


A change in behaviour.


Something a coach notices.


A concern about a parent, volunteer or another member of the team.

On its own, it may seem small.

But when safeguarding and wellbeing information is recorded and seen together, patterns can become visible and action can be taken sooner.

On the Button gives your club one place to hold that information securely.

See how it works

You do not need a long demonstration to understand On the Button.

Take a look at our short taster and see how a concern can be recorded, shared, followed through and seen as part of the wider picture.

Record concerns when they arise

Coaches and volunteers can record safeguarding or wellbeing concerns simply, without having to decide first whether something is “serious enough”.

Make sure the right person knows

The appropriate safeguarding or welfare person can see what has been raised rather than relying on messages being passed on or remembered.

Record what happened next

Keep the concern, decisions, actions and outcomes together.

See the bigger picture

Chronology and previous information help you see when separate concerns may be starting to form a pattern.

Give people another way to speak up

Confidential and anonymous whistleblowing provides a safe route for concerns about adults working within the club.

Keep important safeguarding information together

Training and safer recruitment records can also be held within On the Button, helping those responsible for the club see what is current and what needs attention.

Notice. Record. Share. Act.

Someone notices something


It is recorded on On the Button


The right safeguarding or welfare person can see it


Decisions and actions are recorded


The chronology builds over time

No trying to reconstruct the story later from separate notes, emails, messages or people's memories.

Safeguarding information stays need-to-know

Coaches and volunteers can record a concern without being given access to information they do not need to see.

The appropriate safeguarding or welfare person can see the concern, record decisions and actions, and keep the chronology together.
