NSPCC Sport works to build a caring, inclusive culture where children and young people can thrive and enjoy themselves by discovering all kinds of sports and physical activities – whatever their level or ability.
It is funded by UK sports councilsto support, advise and train sports bodies, physical activity providers and leisure operators, as well as parents and carers. Because safeguarding in sport is a team effort.
It works with the sport and physical activity sector to:
provide tailored training and consultancy to professionals and volunteers in sport
make sure sport and activity organisations give the highest level of protection to children and young people
support organisations to meet their nationally-recognised Safeguarding Standards
develop practical support and advice for parents and carers through the Keeping Your Child Safe in Sport campaign
Children’s sport should be exciting, fulfilling and fun. But most of all, it should be safe.
