Deal with a concern

What are you required to do?

The following points illustrate the processes to use when there are concerns about possible abuse of a child or young person. You may not need to follow every part of the process if the concern is resolved at an earlier stage.

If you think a child is in immediate danger, call the police.

It's important to remember that the welfare of the child is of paramount concern. However, it is not up to you to decide whether or not a child has been abused, but to report concerns appropriately.

Support is available should you need it, through your governing body, statutory social care services and the NSPCC, as well as directly from the Child Protection in Sport Unit.

For further information, see our guidance on Putting safeguards in place.

If you have concerns about the welfare of a child

Is the child in immediate danger or are they injured?

if yes, contact the emergency services

Report the concern:

if you're affiliated to a national governing body, refer to their safeguarding procedures about who to report the concerns to
if your club or activity isn’t affiliated to a governing body, you can seek support from the active partnership (previously county sports partnership) or your local children’s social care (social services)
if there's no one else available to help, contact the police

Ensure you keep a record of your concern and how you reported it.

Case management

Case management – taking action

Sports organisations need to have in place clear and robust systems to receive and respond to reported concerns (abuse or poor practice) about the welfare of children and young people.

These should include contact with statutory agencies (police and children's social care or social services) when abuse or other criminal behaviour is suspected or alleged.

In England, procedures should also include referral to the Designated Officer (previously known as a LADO) when concerns involve someone in a position of trust.

If you think a child is in immediate danger, call the police.

Managing concerns

The following table will support your organisation in managing concerns and understanding the role of statutory agencies (the police and children’s social care or social services) when the concerns mean that their involvement is required.

Most cases will be managed at the first stage and will not require a referral to other agencies. However, it's important to ensure that you have robust procedures that keep children at their heart, and know when and how to report concerns externally.

	Sports organisation	Statutory services
Initial concern received	Organisational procedures followed: Poor practice: internal disciplinary process initiated. Possible abuse: everything that follows in this table below.	Designated Officer (previously LADO) involvement if concerns relate to someone in a position of trust.
Decision about action	Referral or consultation with the police/social care. Case Management Group discussion: agree immediate action (e.g. temporary suspension) in consultation with statutory agencies and Designated Officer (Previously LADO).	1. Info Gathering 2. Investigation 3. Assessment Designated Officer (previously LADO) involvement if concerns relate to someone in a position of trust.
Action planning with other agencies	Multi agency strategy meeting
Further enquiries/ investigations	Internal investigations/assessment undertaken in consultation with, or at conclusion of investigation by, statutory agencies. Complex risk assessment.	Follow up assessment/actions.
Outcome of investigations/ actions	Disciplinary proceedings. DBS referral.	Child protection conference (multi agency). Criminal proceedings.
Appeal	Appeal procedures. External referral.	Statutory appeal procedures.

Case management model

Sports organisations need to have in place policies and guidance that cover all aspects of the case management process:

prevention
reporting concerns
responding to referred concerns
case management groups
statutory agency roles and responsibilities
involvement of children
the internal sports investigation
risk assessment
disciplinary process and appeals
risk management

We have developed the case management model tool, along with other case management resources, to help you complete this process.

National governing bodies (NGBs)

Sport England, Sport Northern Ireland and Sport Wales have each developed guidance regarding which sports they recognise and how to apply to become a recognised sport. For further information, see the following pages.

Contact your sport's national governing body

This alphabetical list covers most sports in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Although it's updated regularly, details can change. If you notice anything that needs updating for an NGB, please contact us.
