The NSPCC’s Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU) has published a new animation looking at how sport can safeguard children.
The video shows the difference between child protection and safeguarding in a sports setting and looks in more depth at how children and young people can be further protected beyond their time at training sessions. Take a closer look at contextual safeguarding and how, by looking at where young people practice skills in their spare time, how they travel to practice or where they go afterwards, we can help to make them even safer.
Separately, CPSU has also published an article looking at lessons that can be learnt for the sports sector following the publication of the Sheldon Report into the non-recent child sexual abuse allegations in football.
