10 years of safeguarding children in sport

A milestone to celebrate

Our conference, held on 6 October 2011 in Birmingham, marked the 10th anniversary of the Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU) working in partnership with sport organisations to safeguard children.


 CPSU 10th anniversary medal

Delegates enjoyed the opportunity to discuss key safeguarding achievements in the sport sector as well as the future direction of policy, and gained a clearer understanding of how multi-agency communication supports safeguarding.

We also launched our latest research findings:
The Experiences of Children Participating in Organised Sport in the UK.

Jonathon Agnew, sports commentator and former international and county cricketer chaired the conference. Other speakers and panelists included Celia Brackenridge, John Amaechi and Brian Moore, former England Rugby Union player.
