Child Wellbeing and Protection training requirements are outlined below:
Any adult who regularly works with children in sport may be the person that a child chooses to tell about abuse happening in their life. It is vital that adults know how to respond and know how to share information with those who can help. As well as giving adults a basic awareness of what to do if they’re concerned about a child, it helps build confidence and knowledge in keeping children safe. Course certificates are valid for 3 years.
