Safeguarding & Protecting Children

This Safeguarding & Protecting Children Course is an essential for anyone working with children and needs to be renewed every 3 years.

This is the information for the upcoming course for Safeguarding and Protecting Children in Okehampton on the 30th Sep 2010- booking form attached

We try and insure courses are run locally to support the excellent sport and activity infrastructure we have here

The course helps you and your club;

Protect yourself, the young people you are coaching and possibly your employer by understanding and following good coaching practice. Learn about child abuse and how to handle situations if you have concerns. This workshop will help you, the coach, to:

- identify good coaching practice to promote a positive relationship with children identify sport situations and coaching practice that might constitute either poor practice or possible abuse;

- identify ways of dealing with your own feelings about child abuse and state what constitutes neglect, physical, sexual and emotional abuse;

- recognise the signs and symptoms of abuse and appreciate why reporting it is often so difficult;

- identify appropriate action if a child discloses he/she has been abused;

- identify appropriate action if abuse is suspected and explain the role and responsibilities of other experts (e.g. police, social services) describe appropriate practice that reduces the likelihood of abuse occurring.

The course is a priority for coaches at clubs working towards Clubmark and also good practice for all coaches..
