    The Safe Practice in Physical Education and School Sport manual is an excellent and essential source of advice and guidance, giving clear and up to date information on required standards, good practice and current legislation. It is extensively used and referred to by schools and advisers in Warwickshire County Council ensuring that PE and sport can be planned, delivered and managed effectively and safely.
