We’re offering free training from safeguarding experts to help you prepare for the new legal requirements for reporting sexual abuse.
The Crime and Policing Bill is coming into law shortly, which enforces that anyone who has a key role with responsibility for children and young people in England must report sexual abuse when they are made aware of it. It includes sports coaches, and anyone who works with children in the sport and leisure industries.
It will also be a criminal offence to prevent someone reporting child sexual abuse.
Free mandatory reporting webinars
Learn what you need to do to prepare for the requirements. In bitesize sessions, NSPCC safeguarding experts will share:
- the story so far and what's happening now
- who the new duty will apply to
- what you should report
- what stops children speaking out
- the process for reporting
- survivor stories and what we've learnt.
Join us live on 23 September and we'll help you understand how the duty would apply in your sector.
