Safeguarding for Young Volunteers (13+)

This workshop is for young people (aged 13-17) involved in volunteering activities, but are too young for the adult ‘Safeguarding and Protecting Children’ certification.

This workshop will help young volunteers to understand how to keep children and themselves safe in sessions for which they are supporting.

It is designed to introduce young coaches, officials, volunteers and sports leaders to the concept of ‘good safeguarding practice’ and is the ideal environment for you to develop your confidence in how to identify what abuse of a child in sport may look like and how you should take action appropriate to your age and status.

What you will learn:

• identify and recognise good volunteering practice for keeping children safe
• recognise what to do if you have concerns about a child
• support safe sports session for children.
