UK Coaching - Safeguarding and Protecting Children

Every child deserves to enjoy playing sport and engaging in physical activity in a safe and supportive environment, where they feel heard, understood, and valued.

Join GM Moving for this interactive face-to-face workshop to help you recognise and respond to concerns a child may be experiencing, or be at risk of experiencing, harm, neglect, or abuse.

You will learn the importance of person-centred care and taking an individualised approach to your coaching practice that puts the child or young person at the heart of every session.

On this course you will:

• Identify and recognise good coaching practice and the implications for your coaching.
• Refresh your knowledge around recognising safeguarding issues, what to do, and just as importantly, what not to do.
• Explore your values and feelings in relation to child abuse, and recognise their potential impact on your response.
• Take appropriate action if concerns about a child arise.
• Learn from and pick the brains of our expert tutors, all of whom have lived Safeguarding experience – such as club welfare officers, schoolteachers, or police officers.
