The right safeguarding training for you will depend upon your role in your sport or activity, as well as your existing safeguarding experience and knowledge.
A variety of sport safeguarding training and learning is available to support staff and volunteers, which will develop their understanding and skills to safeguard children. Training courses may be elearning, tutor led in person or, online or, a combination of these options.
See our training grid for help selecting courses
Our training grid outlines suitable safeguarding training for different roles. If you’ve had safeguarding training before in a different role, you may still need to have sport specific training. This will depend on your previous experience, training, your role in the organisation and the procedures of your national governing body (NGB) if your sport or activity has one.
Choosing your training delivery method
Safeguarding training includes sensitive information where participants' values, assumptions and experiences can affect their interpretation of learning.
We’ve developed guidance on minimum safeguarding training standards for sports and physical activity providers, which helps to outline which training methods are required and why.
