Overview:

Fully revised and updated for 2007, this new resource replaces our best-selling title 'Protecting Children'.

The government's Every Child Matters: Change for Children strategy (2004) describes every organisation's responsibility to ensure that the children in its care are healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and achieve economic well-being. All organisations (including sports clubs), which have an involvement with children, now have clear statutory duties to safeguard children's welfare. Ensure you comply with government guidelines and legislation by following the clear and practical advice given in this fantastic new resource.

Safeguarding and Protecting Children explains clearly how to:

  • identify the foundations of safeguarding children, good practice and child protection
  • describe the different categories of child abuse and the impact of abuse on children
  • recognise the signs and symptoms of each category of abuse
  • identify the appropriate action to take if abuse is suspected
  • recognise the roles and responsibilities of relevant statutory agencies.

  • Written by experts in sport and child protection
  • Widely recognised as the definitive guide to safeguarding and protecting children
  • The principles contained within the book are discussed and explored in more detail in the accompanying sports coach UK workshop 'Safeguarding and Protecting Children', which is delivered by an experienced sports coach UK tutor
  • Contains guidelines that can be applied by everyone involved with children in sport, regardless of their role. The underlying principles should apply to all participants, including vulnerable adults. 'Safeguarding and Protecting Children' is therefore an essential guidebook for all people involved in sport
