Child protection and child abuse in sport research

Research into child abuse or child protection in sport  is a challenging and often complex field of study. On these pages you'll find useful advice and information from the CPSU to assist you in your research, including:

• guidelines for anyone commissioning research
  
  
• tips for successful research and a  checklist for good practice
  
  
• suggested topics for study
  
  
• where to look for published research, including a selection of useful books, articles and web resources
  
  
• research in progress.

It is important to bear in mind is that staff of sport organisations and child protection agencies are extremely busy with their core work. Please do not approach them for help unless you have carried out a comprehensive literature search and have still not been able to find what you need.
