Safeguarding Essentials

Closing thoughts and main messages

Congratulations, you are now two-thirds of the way through the course. By now you will realise that safeguarding is an important part of your role in your sport; it is not an optional extra.

The three main messages to take away from this second part of the course:

  1. Identifying and managing risks helps to protect everyone involved in your sport.
  2. Your beliefs, values and life experiences influence how you approach safeguarding.
  3. Following agreed behaviours helps you reduce risks and identify concerns.

The final part of the course covers the response you and your organisation should follow when you have a safeguarding concern. Something might not seem serious, but the session shows why and how you should respond every time you have a concern. 

Your welfare

You may have your own lived experience of harm and abuse, and may find some of the content in this course difficult and upsetting.

Please make yourself aware of the support services that are available to you through your organisation or within your community, so that you know how to access this support if you need to. 

Now go to the final part of the course.
