Sport activities are uniquely placed to contribute to safeguarding and the welfare of children. Coaches/volunteers have a responsibility to be a good role model and to be a listening ear if a young person has a concern.

INCORRECT

The vast majority of volunteers will help out through their genuine desire to see children or their particular organisation develop. Unfortunately a small minority of others will join an organisation or club as an opportunity to gain access to children and create an air of acceptability about their role and therefore justifying their close contact with children. Having clear recruitment procedures reduces the risk of someone targeting a club or organisation to gain access to children.

INCORRECT

Images can be used as a means of identifying children when associated with personal information. Where possible do not include the name of a child whose image is being used, if naming a child or group of children in an image, only use their first names - this reduces the risk of inappropriate, unsolicited attention from people within and outside the sport. Avoid the inclusion of other detailed information about individual children that might help identification.
