Written by the NSPCC, this programme provides an authoritative introduction to keeping children safe. Designed for anyone who comes into contact with children through sporting activities, it is particularly relevant for organisations which already have a child protection policy in place.
It has been designed to help clubs safeguard the children in their care by enabling staff and volunteers to recognise and understand their role in child protection. By offering this introductory programme, organisations can ensure that staff and volunteers have the knowledge and skills necessary to identify and respond appropriately to concerns about children's safety.
The delivery is flexible and the programme is available in both paper-based and online formats. It comprises three concise modules of key information. Each module has its own questionnaire to test understanding. Upon successful completion a certificate will be awarded. All participants also receive individual feedback on their answers. The programme also acts as a useful reference guide.
Improve your understanding of child abuse and learn about the four types of abuse: physical, sexual, emotional and neglect. Learn about the effects it can have on a child, as well as managing your own feelings. Eliminate misunderstanding by learning about some of the common myths surrounding child abuse.
Learn what to do if a child confides in you and how you should report any concerns or suspicions you may have with an easy step-by-step guide. Understand what happens after you have reported your concerns.
Protect yourself from false allegations by following the code of conduct and implementing the principles of good practice. Learn to minimise situations where children may be at risk by following the procedures of your organisation.
