Workshop Details:

This comprehensive workshop is the result of a review of the Good Practice and Child Protection workshop.  Both the workshop and resource have been reviewed to reflect changes and developments in government guidance and legislation, and in practice within many sports organisations.
Sport should provide a safe and fun environment for children and young people.
Every week hundreds of thousands of youngsters happily and safely participate in the care of dedicated sports coaches.  To ensure that good work continues in a safe environment, organisers, coaches and parents must be aware of child protection issues.
Increased parental and media concern for the welfare of children in sport will lead to direct and vital questions being asked of you.  How do you find the right answers?  How can coaches protect themselves from wrongful accusations?
On completion of this workshop, you should be able to:


·       identify and recognise good coaching practice, and the implications for your coaching
·       explore your values and feelings in relation to child abuse, and recognise their potential impact on your response;
·       recognise and respond to the signs and symptoms of child abuse and poor practice; and
·       take appropriate action, if concerns about a child arise.
Safeguarding and Protecting Children is just one in a series of workshops which consist of highly practical and applied three-hour sessions.  They are targeted at coaches aspiring to Level 3 national standards.  The workshop itself is supported by a comprehensive resource, which is either a handbook or home study pack.
