This briefing, on Learning from inquiries about safeguarding practice in sport (PDF), aims to help national governing bodies (NGBs) and those who fund the sports and physical activity sector to strengthen their safeguarding practices by learning from previous reviews into sports organisations.
It highlights the importance of going beyond creating safeguarding policies, and bringing them into action throughout the organisation.
