Safeguarding & Protecting Children 16 - 18 (Online Classroom)

This online classroom is for young coaches aged 16-18 years old only.

Developed in partnership with:

ukc-onukc-off

This online classroom, developed in partnership with the Child Protection Sport Unit (CPSU) of the NSPCC, has been created specifically for coaches aged 16 to 18 years old.

The course is created by specialists in child welfare and is written and delivered with the safety of the young coach in mind throughout. It covers all the appropriate content to support younger coaches to recognise safeguarding and child protection best practice as an important part of your great coaching journey. As a young leader or assistant coach, you will discover how to report any concerns you may have, and who you can report your concerns to. Safeguarding your own welfare as a coach is just as important, so this online classroom will also provide information on who you can talk to and get support from.

Safeguarding and Protecting Children (16-18) is created for a specific audience, and should be recognised by all partners who currently recognise the UK Coaching Safeguarding and Protecting Children (online classroom) and face to face workshop as an essential element of a coach’s minimum standards of deployment.

This certificate of attendance is valid for up to two years and should be renewed by attending the Safegaurding & Protecting Children classroom.

This online classroom is for young coaches aged 16-18 years old only.

This session will help you:

  • identify and recognise good (coaching) practice and the implications for your coaching
  • recognise the duty of care you have for the welfare and wellbeing of players/participants 
  • identify your best practice behaviours as you move from a player/participant to a coach (or a coaching role)
  • take appropriate action if you have concerns about a child (or an adult).

This online classroom will be facilitated by a UK Coaching Safeguarding & Protecting Children tutor who is highly experienced in child welfare in sport. It will also be attended by a responsible adult who will act as a chaperone for the young people in the course.
 

Although you can access our online classroom using any mobile device, the best experience will be achieved by using a laptop or PC. Once booked, the link to your online classroom will be provided via a confirmation email you receive from UK Coaching.

You will need the following equipment:

  • Headset or a device with speakers
  • Device with a microphone
  • If possible – the ability to connect directly into your router may improve your internet connection (wifi access may drop out).

Find a course date that works for you, complete the booking process and then we will be in touch to:

  • Confirm your booking
  • Send you a link to your session
  • Tell you your certificate is ready to view on your dashboard (after your session).

This session will run for around 90 minutes to 2 hours. It depends on the flow of the session – we don’t like to cut people off while they are learning! 

You are part of a small group so you will have a chance to discuss points and ask questions as if you are in a face to face workshop, only you get to sit in your own chair and drink a real cuppa in your own mug and not something brown from a vending machine!

This online classroom is for young coaches aged 16-18 years old only. If you are 18 years or older, please click here to book onto our Safegaurding & Protecting Children (online classroom).

It’s made me more aware of the subject and made me think about the things I didn’t know before.

It was very engaging and everyone was able to get involved.

This course had definitely made me more confident, also got me to think about things i didn’t really consider before.

Good to participate virtually, i think i participated more virtually than i would have face to face. Just talking through things and engaging works really well.
