Case Study
Delivering Safeguarding to the workforce
Following the release of the Whyte Review in June 2022, British Gymnastics approached us to implement our Safeguarding and Protecting Children Online Classroom Programme within their coaching workforce. They expressed a strong desire to ensure their community of workers received high-quality, in-person training. Our track record in this specialised training area has established us as leaders within the sector.
Key Objectives
- Custom-tailor the training to be contextually relevant for British Gymnastics.
- Deliver high-quality initial face-to-face training to British Gymnastics' coaching workforce, encompassing both coaches and welfare officers.
- Recruit, train, and deploy a proficient team of tutors.
- Take the lead in managing course logistics, facilitation, adjustments, and addressing inquiries.
How we did it
We conducted three to four Safeguarding and Protecting Children Online classroom sessions every month. Our collaboration with trained tutors enabled us to schedule courses at optimal times and frequencies, aligning with the gymnastics community's needs. This cooperative approach has fortified our relationship with British Gymnastics, ensuring mutual benefit.
To streamline course registration, our IT team devised a bespoke booking process, designed to seamlessly integrate with British Gymnastics' branding. Attendees accessed the course via links on the British Gymnastics course finder pages. Upon completion, participants received a dual-branded UK Coaching/British Gymnastics certificate.
It made total sense to work with UK Coaching on this project, especially as they were already providing recognised training at this level which we actively promoted to our community. It was really simple, and there was absolute collaboration. If you want bespoke and effective safeguarding education, I would totally recommend partnering with UK Coaching. - Katie Richards, Head of Education Design and Development at British Gymnastics
We identified and recruited tutors capable of delivering the Safeguarding and Protecting Children Online Classroom. Tutors with relevant gymnastics experience were inducted to deliver workshops independently as self-employed professionals.
We also managed booking and payment processes, cancellations, course changes, and enquiries through our Customer Care team, allowing British Gymnastics a hands-off approach due to capacity constraints.
The springboard to success
The partnership successfully delivered high-quality in-person training to the British Gymnastics workforce. All objectives were achieved, four tutors were trained, and approximately 40 attendees were supported each month.
