Child protection awareness in sport and active leisure

NSPCC EduCare child protection awareness programme

Written by the NSPCC, this EduCare programme is for anyone who comes into contact with children and their parents or carers through their involvement in sport and active leisure. It provides information on signs and indicators of abuse and what you should do if you suspect a child is being maltreated.

The programme is designed to give guidance on best practice in child protection. Each of the four learning modules has a questionnaire to test understanding and help you put your training into practice.

The programme is available in both paper-based and online learning formats to suit different learning preferences. A personalised certificate is issued on successful completion (valid for three years).

What are the benefits of this programme?

• Staff with different working arrangements and in different locations receive the same clear consistent messages.
   
• It can be used as part of the induction process in both paid and voluntary sectors. 

Module one – Understanding the basics

Improve your understanding of what child abuse is; learn how to recognise early signs of possible problems and find out what you can do to help prevent children suffering from abuse.

Module two – Recognising child abuse

Develop your awareness of some of the possible indicators that a child is being abused, including physical and behavioural signs. Learn how to respond if a child confides in you.

Module three – Reporting child abuse

Gain more confidence in knowing what to do after a child confides in you, how to deal with strong concerns about a child who has not yet approached you, and what happens after you have reported your concerns.

Module four – Good practice issues

Learn how organisations and individuals working with children should respond to allegations, and how to develop personal and organisational guidelines for good practice to safeguard the welfare of children.

Child Protection Awareness in Sport and Active Leisure can be purchased independently or as part of a bundle that includes other NSPCC EduCare resources.  More information about this can be found on the EduCare website: EduCare for Sport training bundle.
