The target audience is anyone working or volunteering in or with the sports sector, as we promote and advocate for partnerships working to tackle CSA/E, reinforcing the fact that ‘safeguarding is everyone’s business’.
The forum is an opportunity to hear from our guest speakers and for attendees to participate in group interactive discussions, enabling participants to network and share ideas and examples of good practice.
We share learning from research, inquiries, reviews etc. and promote sport and physical activity as a positive diversionary activity for vulnerable young people. This reinforces the need for a strength-based approach and positive role models through extracurricular activity.
The discussions will focus on the importance of equity, diversity and inclusion and ensuring that sport is a welcoming, accessible and safe space for all children and adults.
