We have developed briefing papers that define abuse of positions of trust within the sport (PDF) and dance (PDF) contexts. The briefings also outline the updated legislation which was passed in response to the NSPCC's Close the Loophole campaign.
These briefings discuss the positive impact that those in a position of trust can have on young people and highlight recommended best practice.
