This Safeguarding in Sport course will allow all adults, sports clubs and organisation's to ensure a commitment to excellence in safeguarding. It will provide you with the knowledge and tools needed to help keep children safe. Written by our safeguarding and child protection experts, the course covers the key types of abuse to be aware of, how to identify them, and how to report and record your concerns.
Throughout the course, Paul uses his personal experience of abuse in a sports setting to highlight what can be done to prevent abuse from taking place. Alongside this unique survivor-led approach, the course will help you to recognise the best practices your sports club should follow to keep children safe.
The course has full audio voiceover and downloads include a code of conduct, a social media and photography policy for parents, transport guidance and a one-to-one coaching guide.
Contributions from Gary Lineker OBE, Kevin Sinfield OBE, Brian Moore, Kelly Cates, Ian Poulter, Marilyn Okoro, Karen Leach and June Kelly MBE.

"I absolutely believe that the more adults who complete this course, the more children we save from child abuse in sport and physical activity settings. I encourage parents, coaches, organisers and all those involved to take this up.'

What is safeguarding and why training is important, who commits abuse, your responsibilities and laws and guidance.
Emotional, physical and sexual abuse, neglect and missing children, online abuse and cyberbullying, grooming, child sexual exploitation (CSE), criminal exploitation, trafficking and county lines.
Recognising concerns, why children don't talk about abuse, allegations from a child, what to say and what not to say, what to do next and why many adults don't take action.
How and when to report a concern, who to report to, telling the child's parents, next steps, record-keeping and what to record.
Safeguarding policy, sports code of conduct, safer recruitment and training, media and photography, transportation and handovers and one-on-one sports.
The online assessment is taken on completion of the training material. You will be asked 12 multiple-choice questions with a pass mark of 75%. The answers are marked automatically so you will instantly know whether you have passed. If you don't pass, don't worry! You can take the test as many times as you need with no extra charge.
Adults who work or volunteer at a sports club are in a position of trust and have a duty of care towards the children. This applies whether you work at grassroots or professional level and whether you're a coach, volunteer, safeguarding lead, committee member, parent or different role.
