Renewal: Safeguarding and Protecting Children

Refresh and update your understanding of safeguarding at your convenience

Developed in partnership with the NSPCC’s Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU), the ‘Renewal: Safeguarding and Protecting Children in Sport’ eLearning course is a convenient way for you to refresh, consolidate and update your understanding of safeguarding at a time to suit you. An alternative to attending a face-to-face workshop, you can complete this fantastic course from the comfort of your own home – on a tablet or PC – so you can dip in and out to suit your lifestyle, while still keeping track of your progress.

* Check with your governing body of sport for further information, and to ascertain whether or not it recognises completing the eLearning as an appropriate way to renew your safeguarding training.

Additional Topical Modules

There are three versions of this course to choose from. They all contain a core safeguarding refresher module, plus they each have an additional module with a focus on a topical aspect of safeguarding and protecting children in sport.

Each version has the same price, and equal weighting. It is purely down to your choice as to which version you are interested in exploring.

Read the summary about each version below and choose which version you would like to purchase.

New style of online learning offers you the opportunity to learn-by-doing, making online decisions based on real-life stories and scenarios of disabled children in sport, so that you can see the consequences of those decisions in a safe environment.

By putting you at the heart of the action, letting you practice your decision-making skills in a virtual environment and giving you the space to try again – as many times as you want - without fear of anyone looking over your shoulder, it will help you gain a deeper, longer-lasting understanding.

You'll also get access to a bank of tools, tips and resources that you can start using straight away.

After completing the Safeguarding Deaf and Disabled Children in Sport module you’ll then get access the refresher module, where on completion you will be able to download your certificate of completion.

Imagine you discover one of your team has left threatening messages on a young person's social networking page after a poor performance. Would you know what to do?

This module will increase your confidence when it comes to communicating with children about sports sessions. You’ll learn how to take steps to keep children safe and protect yourself online, with information on:

  • the risks and benefits of using social media
  • how to use social media responsibly
  • online grooming and entrapment
  • online bullying
  • online racism.

Have you ever witnessed a parent of one of your players heckle or make comments that are not helpful? This module includes guidance for parents and coaches.

By the end of this module, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to empower parents to contribute to enjoyable sporting experiences for all children and young people.
