Active Humber - UK Coaching - Safeguarding and Protecting Children

Identify and recognise good coaching practice and the implications for your coaching.
Refresh your knowledge around recognising safeguarding issues, what to do, and just as importantly, what not to do.
Explore your values and feelings in relation to child abuse, and recognise their potential impact on your response.
Take appropriate action if concerns about a child arise.
Learn from and pick the brains of our expert tutors, all of whom have lived Safeguarding experience – such as club welfare officers, schoolteachers, or police officers.

Every child deserves to enjoy playing sport and engaging in physical activity in a safe and supportive environment, where they feel heard, understood, and valued.

This interactive face-to-face workshop will help you recognise and respond to concerns a child may be experiencing, or be at risk of experiencing, harm, neglect, or abuse.

You will learn the importance of person-centred care and taking an individualised approach to your coaching practice that puts the child or young person at the heart of every session.

Through interactive scenarios and discussions with people from different sports and activities, you will have the opportunity to explore the consequences of those decisions in a safe and supportive environment, helping to increase your confidence to deal with safeguarding issues effectively and counteract the latest threats to emerge that could impact on the physical or mental health of children in modern Britain.

The course has been awarded 2 CPD points by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA).

Please note, this face-to-face session is for over 18’s only.
