This session is for parents and carers of children who play sport or take part in out of school activities, and for all practitioners working with children and their families.
It’s important for parents/ carers to check that any sports club or activity that your child attends has your child’s safety as its priority. Even if the club seems professional, there are questions that you should ask to make sure that they have all the necessary safeguarding measures in place.
This session is being offered as part of ‘Keeping Your Child Safe in Sport’ week; a national campaign run annually by the NSPCC. It will offer guidance around questions to ask of activity providers, as well as giving parents suggestions around support they can provide.
