This workshop aims to increase awareness of safeguarding and protecting children, helping coaches to recognise signs of abuse and poor practice, and deal sensitively and effectively with issues that arise.

Reviews
This workshop provides an understanding of child protection in sport, being better informed about legislation and developing a child centred approach to coaching. A key underlying message of the course is about coach/volunteer protection and ensuring coaches do not get themselves into situations which could be misconstrued.

It also prompts a review of coaching practice to ensure that sport provides a positive and enriching experience for children.
