NWG Combating Child Sexual Exploitation in Sport - Updated content

Developed in collaboration with Edge Hill University this course looks to enhance knowledge & develop practice in safeguarding in sport.

This course has been updated with the latest learning, developments and stats.

This NWG CPD-accredited course has been developed in collaboration with Edge Hill University’s Professor Mike Hartill to provide a greater comprehension of the issue of sexual abuse and exploitation within sports. The course provides attendees with the historical context and prevalence of child sexual exploitation in sports within the UK and beyond. The course looks towards developments in policy, including recent publications from IICSA (Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse) and the learning from recent major enquiries into abuse in football, gymnastics cricket and other sports. During the training day learning is enriched through the use of the voices of survivors of CSE in Sports and provides practical resources for use in practice.

The training is delivered by NWG's Safeguarding in Sports Team who have developed a sound understanding of how young people need to be protected when engaging in sport and physical activities, the team has been involved in the Erasmus funded "VOICE’s for Truth and Dignity" project. This project involved 7 countries researching the experiences of those abused through sport and bringing that knowledge and those voices into this training.

This course is aimed at anyone working within sports and physical activities who wants to broaden their understanding of abuse in sports along with multi-agency practitioners who work alongside children, young people and their families who wish to extend their understanding and practice in the field of sport.
