Choosing the right tool

Unsure which to use? Read the descriptions below to help you choose the most suitable tool. 

Choose this tool to work through an introduction to safeguarding. This is suitable for community based or independent sport and activity clubs and groups. 

Choose this tool to work through the full CPSU Standards for Safeguarding Children in Sport. This is suitable for organised sport. Most organisations who are affiliated to a national governing body or the sports councils work within this comprehensive framework.

Choose this tool when you're organising community activities like summer fairs, drop-ins or taster sessions. These events are sometimes in village halls, parks or public spaces, and you might not know who’s coming. Suitable for independent providers, community groups, youth clubs and faith organisations. 

Choose this tool when you’re organising local or regional events like county finals or league competitions. These events are likely to involve established teams or clubs, might require regional travel and occasional overnight stays. Suitable for clubs and organisations linked to a national governing body.

Choose this tool when you're organising national or international events like training camps, championships or Olympic Games. These events are usually for athletes on a talent or performance pathway and often require travel and overnight stays. Suitable for those linked with a national or international sports body.
