Anonymous, child-appropriate wellbeing check-ins for players, a safeguarding culture survey, and a way for parents to tell the committee what they really think, with results ready for board-level review. Club apps manage fixtures and fees; none of them can ask a junior player how the club feels.
Young players rarely tell an adult directly when something feels wrong. Anonymous, gentle check-ins give them a quieter way to say how safe and listened-to they feel, so the club hears it early, while it's still something to fix rather than something to explain.
The honest feedback about communication, coaching and how children are treated is traded touchline to touchline, and rarely reaches anyone who can act on it. A short, anonymous parent survey brings the car-park conversation to the committee table.
The people who run everything are usually the last to say they're struggling, and nobody notices until the resignation. An anonymous coach and volunteer check tells you how sustainable club life feels while there's still time to share the load.
The Player Wellbeing Check-In asks young players how training feels (enjoyment, pressure, tiredness, and whether there's someone they can talk to) in friendly, age-appropriate wording that takes about four minutes on a phone. It's anonymous by default, and every child-facing survey carries a built-in signpost to talk to a trusted adult.
The Safe & Respected at the Club survey asks children, gently and anonymously, whether they feel safe, listened to and treated with respect here. That's the evidence CPSU safeguarding standards expect clubs to gather: children's own views on safety and culture, not just a completed checklist.
Apply the season listening plan and the whole cadence schedules itself: players heard twice, parents and coaches once each, every survey opening and closing on its own dates. By the end of the season you have a stakeholder-listening record ready for board-level review.
Nowhere is "a survey" itself the requirement. The pattern in sport is a duty to listen to children and stakeholders, with a survey as the recognised method. Moodly gives a welfare officer the method, the cadence and the evidence trail.
Funded bodies must evidence that they gather children's views on safety and culture, and the CPSU names surveys as a recognised method. The Safe & Respected at the Club survey is built for exactly that evidence.
Tier 3 funded organisations must have a strategy for engaging with and listening to stakeholders, reviewed annually by the board, as a condition of public funding. A season listening plan gives the board something concrete to review.
At elite level, UK Sport's Culture Health Check set the precedent: athlete-experience surveys administered by an independent third party are the assurance norm. Moodly brings the same pattern within reach of grassroots clubs.
These conditions bind your club or governing body, not the tool. Moodly is the method for gathering and evidencing children's and stakeholders' views; it doesn't make you compliant by itself.
Yes, it's designed for them. Wording is age-appropriate, surveys are anonymous by design, and child-facing surveys carry a signpost to talk to a trusted adult. The club controls exactly what's asked.
No. Everyone signs in once with a magic link (no passwords, no account creation) and answers in the app or the browser in a few minutes.
Only the people you grant portal access, typically the welfare officer and the committee. Results for small groups are guarded by a minimum group size, so a squad of three can never be read as individuals.
A flat annual plan sized to how many people you hold, with a free 14-day trial and never a per-response fee: survey everyone monthly or one squad once a season, the price is the same. Details are on the pricing page.
Send the Player Wellbeing Check-In to a squad this week and watch the answers arrive. Free for 14 days, no card required.
