Safeguarding and Protecting children course
The Safeguarding and Protecting children course is designed for everyone who works with children. Through sport children can develop confidence and self-esteem as well as proficiency in their chosen activity. Both Coaches and helpers have a responsibility to see to it that these children are able to enjoy and progress within a safe environment where they feel secure and able to make informed choices in order to reach their full potential.
This course will introduce the concept of Good Coaching Practice. Enabling Coaches and helpers to identify aspects of good practice that they already adopt in their work and introduce other issues which have not occurred to them before, issues which may need to be addressed when coaching children in the future.
- Identify signs of Child abuse and get advice and guidance on the appropriate action to be taken in suspected cases.
- Ensure that coaching is safe
The course is run in a relaxed atmosphere by a fully qualified and experienced member of Sports Coach UK in conjunction with NSPCC
