Ensure the Safety of Children in Sports Settings

Our Safeguarding in Sport course is an essential online training for anyone working with children and young people in sports environments. This course equips you with the knowledge and skills to recognise the signs of abuse, understand your legal and moral duty of care, and take the necessary actions to protect young participants.

Safeguarding in sport isn’t just about fulfilling a legal obligation; it’s about creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where children can enjoy and thrive in their sports activities.

What is Sports Safeguarding and Why is it Important?

Sports safeguarding refers to the practice of protecting children, young people, and vulnerable adults from harm while they participate in sports activities. It involves the prevention of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Safeguarding ensures that everyone, athletes, staff, volunteers, and spectators, can enjoy sports in a safe, inclusive, and positive environment.

The importance of safeguarding in sports cannot be overstated. Children and young people are especially vulnerable in sports settings due to the authority and trust placed in coaches, instructors, and volunteers. Effective safeguarding practices protect them from harm and promote well-being, trust, and respect within the sports community. It’s crucial for safeguarding policies to be understood and actively implemented by all involved in sports, from grassroots clubs to professional teams.
