Safeguarding and Protecting Children

Create a Positive Sports Experience for Young People

Every child deserves to enjoy their sport. This workshop will raise your awareness of the telltale signs of abuse and poor practice, and give you the tools you need to deal with any issues sensitively, appropriately and effectively should the need ever arise in your coaching career.

(This workshop is a Minimum Standard for Deployment requirement for many governing bodies of sport. The Minimum Standards for Deployment are seen as the basic standard every coach needs to meet to carry out their role safely and effectively.)

Duration: 3 hours

Group size: 6-20

You Will Be Able To:

  • provide children and young people with a positive and enriching sporting experience
     
  • recognise and respond to the signs and symptoms of child abuse and poor practice
     
  • take appropriate action if concerns about a child arise

Accompanying Resource
