Physical contact should be in an open environment with the permission and understanding of the participant. In general physical contact should:
• Be determined by the age and developmental stage of the participant - don’t do something that a child can do for themselves
• Meet the child's needs, NOT the adult's
• Develop skills/ techniques or to prevent an injury or accident from occurring
• Treat an injury (following first aid guidelines);
• To meet the requirements of the activity and the nature and reason for the physical contact explained to the child
• As a response to distress and success

To achieve a positive experience in sport we believe that organisations and clubs should “sign up” to agreed codes of conduct. Sports coaches/ volunteers should contact their governing body for sports specific codes of conduct. These guidelines should be for:
• All adult club officials - coaches and volunteers
• Young People involved in the sport and
• Parents/carers.

INCORRECT

Clubs should provide guidance to everyone associated with club about social media use. This could be as simple as adopting the National Governing Body’s guidance or the club could seek guidance from external organisations. See the General section of the Safeguarding 1 Refresher for contacts and advice.
