Welcome to Sport and Recreation's website.
Training
Ensuring key people are well informed and trained in child protection issues is important. For many sports clubs this may involve:
- Coaches and instructors becoming more informed on:
- child abuse and abuse indicators
- acceptable and unacceptable behaviours.
- Child Protection Officers and/or Member Protection Information officers undertaking specific training.
- Boards/committee members fully understanding their responsibilities.
