Do your coaches know what to do when an athlete raises a safeguarding concern?

Practical safeguarding training helps teams understand their responsibilities and how to respond appropriately. Enquire about a session for your club or federation.

It is worth knowing the school's safeguarding reporting route before a concern arises. Ask how learners are told about it.
