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. The new law will mean 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. That 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.
