Safeguarding & Protecting Children training 

The RYA has a number of tutors able to deliver the sports coach UK Safeguarding & Protecting Children workshops to affiliated clubs and centres.

This 3 hour workshop is suitable for volunteers and instructors/coaches who may come into contact with children. The workshop explores a Code of Conduct for those in contact with children and provides basic information on recognising child abuse and responding to concerns.

This workshop will help you to:

• Review your own club/centre practice and ensure that it complies with recognised codes of conduct and policies
• Explore your own values and attitudes in relation to child abuse
• Be informed and able to recognise signs and symptoms of child abuse
• Respond in an appropriate way to children who disclose that they are being abused
• Take appropriate action if concerns are raised which suggest a child is being abused either within a club/centre setting or outside of it
