Explore welfare and safeguarding

Everyone involved in sport and physical activity should be able to take part or volunteer without fear of abuse or harassment. Ensuring your organisation does everything it can to safeguard children and adults from harm is essential.

We can all play a part in helping to keep others safe, and everyone involved in your organisation should know who to contact and what to do if they have any concerns.

This section sets out some essentials including what you should know about welfare and safeguarding, getting the right polices in place and health and safety needs to consider. It also references further support and advice from the Child Protection in Sport Unit and the Ann Craft Trust.
