Keeping Safe in Sport - Safeguarding for the Young Volunteer 13-17 CANCELLED

The broad aim of the workshop is to introduce attendees to the concept of ‘good safeguarding practice’ as they start to work with other children. It’s designed to help them understand how to keep children and themselves safe in the sessions they are leading. It will give them an opportunity to consider why they are young volunteers, their behaviour and the behaviour of others, and will also identify the type of behaviour that would concern them as a young volunteer. Where a delegate has concerns, the workshop provides information about what action they can take.

This workshop is particularly suited to young people who are involved in coaching activities from a young age, whilst still too young to be certified for the adult ‘Safeguarding and Protecting Children’ workshop. This workshop will help you to…

• Identify and recognise good volunteering practice for keeping children safe
• Recognise what to do if they have concerns about a child
• Support safe sports sessions for children
