Sport Structures - Sport Education and Training
We want every child to enjoy sport in a safe and supportive environment. In this workshop, you will learn how to recognise and respond if a child is at risk of harm, neglect, or abuse. You will gain the confidence and tools to act appropriately and protect the welfare of children in your care.
If you coach, lead or support children in sport, paid or voluntary, this workshop is for you.
We would recommend that you check with your National Governing Body to make sure this training meets their requirements. The NSPCC recommends that anyone with regular responsibility for children and young people should complete training delivered in person or via a virtual classroom. Our workshops meet this requirement.
This workshop is accredited by UK Coaching and meets the Minimum Standards for Active Coaches required by many governing bodies.
"The workshop was very informative and allowed me to develop further knowledge on the safeguarding of children. The leaders of the workshop were also accommodating in terms of my visual impairment and were more than happy to make adaptions to ensure that I was able to take part in all aspects of the training."
"Great course, well delivered with good resources and access to relevant information. Interactive aspects and tools were really useful and helpful."
To attend this workshop, you must:
- Be at least 16 years old for face to face workshops

If you have any additional learning needs, please let us know when you register so we can provide the right support.

There is no formal assessment. You will take part in interactive activities and discussions to demonstrate your understanding. Your participation throughout the workshop is required to receive your certificate.
All workshops are 3 hours. You can choose:

After this workshop, you can progress to further safeguarding training such as Time to Listen for Club Welfare Officers or you may wish to take a Safeguarding Adults workshop. Alternatively, you may wish to explore other coaching courses and qualifications.

"I gave this workshop a rating of 10/10 because it was a great experience. I really appreciated how every participant had the chance to express their thoughts and have discussions in small groups, which made it much more efficient than speaking in a large group. The course was also fun and had a good flow, with adequate breaks in between. Overall, it was a great learning experience. Thank you."
