Protecting others. Protecting yourself.
Children's Coaches
This interactive online classroom will help you recognise and respond to concerns a child may be experiencing, or be at risk of experiencing, harm, neglect, or abuse. You will learn the importance of person-centred care and taking an individualised approach to your coaching practice that puts the child or young person at the heart of every session.
Adult's Coaches
Attend this workshop to gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to better support and safeguard adults, which is key to great coaching. Focusing on the key principles of safeguarding adults, this workshop offers an opportunity to share best practice from your own context, whether that be a studio or a field and everything in between, and to learn from others.
Young Coaches
Created by specialists in child welfare, this course is designed for young coaches aged 13-15. It covers everything you need to know about safeguarding and child protection, making it a key part of your journey into volunteering.
Welfare Officers
Learn about the responsibilities connected with being a Welfare Officer, the skills needed to excel in the role, and how you can ensure that you’re supporting and safeguarding children effectively. Every child deserves to enjoy playing sport and engaging in physical activity in a safe and supportive environment, where they feel heard, understood, and valued.
