Challenging bullying behaviour
Many children and young people take part in some form of sport or physical activity, so while they are in your care it’s important that you’re creating a positive culture.
What are safeguarding procedures?
Safeguarding procedures outline how you will protect children and young people and what practical safeguarding measures will be put in place to do so.
Responding to and reporting concerns
It is not the responsibility of anyone working in a club, activity or organisation to decide whether or not child abuse has taken place.
For help in encouraging the positive involvement of parents and other spectators, youth sports clubs and organisations may wish to take a look at the following resources.
Having an open discussion with the young people in your club or activity regarding their preferred name, pronouns, needs and concerns will help all members to feel valued and listened to.
How to involve children and young people
The planning required to engage and involve children and young people will vary depending on the size of your organisation, your budget and how you would like to include them.
