The NSPCC calls on Government to act quickly to close 2 legal loopholes that leave the door open for children to be targeted in sport and beyond.
The football abuse scandal has highlighted gaps in child protection that could make children vulnerable to being abused in sports settings, and in other children's clubs too.
The NSPCC’s #TrustToLead campaign aims to:
- increase the number of children being protected by extending the position of trust law to cover sports coaches and more
- extend the most stringent checks with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) to cover more adults working with children
