Accredited by UK Coaching, this workshop will raise your awareness of the tell-tale signs of abuse and give you the tools and confidence you need to deal with any issues sensitively, appropriately and effectively should the need ever arise in your coaching career.

Who is the workshop for?

This workshop is a ‘Minimum Standards for Active Coaches’ requirement for many governing bodies of sport. The ‘Minimum Standards for Active Coaches’ are seen as the basic standards every coach needs to meet to carry out their role safely and effectively. It can also be attended by all those responsible for organising children’s sport (eg within governing bodies of sport, local authorities, sports and leisure centres, and sports clubs) and those who lead or deliver children’s sport programmes (eg coaches, leaders, instructors, development officials, administrators, volunteers and parents), an estimated 76% of whom undertake these roles on a voluntary basis.

What’s the value of this workshop?

“Valuable information for anyone coaching or involved with children or vulnerable adults”

“Excellently delivered, good energy from the hosts. Really interactive, contributions actively sought from participants. Not too heavy on technical / statutory content but very thought provoking and inspires action from delegates”

“The workshop was very informative and allowed me to develop further knowledge on the safeguarding of children. The leaders of the workshop were also accommodating in terms of my visual impairment and where more than happy to make adaptions to ensure that i was ale to take part in all aspects of the training”
