As excitement builds for the 2026 World Cup, venues across Derbyshire will be bringing communities together to enjoy the matches. The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, in partnership with Derbyshire Constabulary, is inviting you to help create a safe, welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.

We’re proud to support the #WalkAway campaign – a simple but powerful message encouraging people to step away from confrontation before situations escalate.

Football should unite communities, not divide them. By promoting #WalkAway in your venue and across your digital channels, you can play an important role in reducing alcohol-related incidents and ensuring fans can celebrate safely.

These materials have been designed to make it easy for you to support the campaign and share a consistent, positive message with your customers.


How Your Venue Can Support

We encourage all participating venues to take a few simple steps:

  • Share #WalkAway content on your social media channels before and during match days
  • Display campaign materials prominently within your venue
  • Encourage staff awareness so they can help reinforce the message
  • Remind customers that walking away from conflict helps keep everyone safe

Why It Matters

Match days can bring high energy and excitement – but they can also increase the risk of alcohol-related tensions. Promoting a clear message of de-escalation helps create a safer environment for staff and customers alike.

  • Reduce incidents of conflict and violence
  • Protect your staff and customers
  • Promote a positive, inclusive viewing experience
  • Strengthen community spirit across Derbyshire
