Child protection in sport training

Everyone who works with children or has regular contact with children has a responsibility for keeping them safe.

So whether you work or volunteer in sport as an individual or as part of a club or organisation, are a community sport development officer, a community leisure officer or work in children’s tourism or leisure, this Child protection in sport online course will help you to gain an understanding of your role in protecting children.

For those who have regular contact with children such as sports coaches this can provide a useful precursor for more advanced face-to-face safeguarding training that is appropriate, and in some cases mandatory, for your role.

At the NSPCC, we work to keep children and young people safe from abuse and neglect every day.

As the UK's experts on safeguarding and child protection, we understand the issues organisations and people working with children can face. That’s why professionals trust us to provide the support, training and resources they need to help protect the children and young people they work with.

We work with a number of organisations, experienced consultants and subject matter experts in a range of sectors to develop courses that are clear, easy-to-use, up-to-date and in line with the latest statutory guidance, and tailored to your needs.

And as a charity, income generated from the sale of our training courses is reinvested back into the NSPCC to help protect children.
