Creating a Safe Environment for Children in Sport

What happens when things go wrong?

When a safeguarding issue arises you need a rigorous process to respond.
sportSafeguardingManager helps you achieve this by encouraging reporting of:

• Incidents or adverse events due to actions (or lack of actions)
  that have led to harm which should have been preventable
• Near Misses whereby a situation which could have placed an
  individual at risk was avoided by chance or purpose.
• Risks whereby you identify factors in your organisation that could lead to a
  safeguarding incident, and to put an action plan in place to mitigate or eliminate the risk.

Any of these could occur in your sport or location. It’s important that you recognise what you are dealing with and how to respond.
That may mean corrective action to minimise the effects of the issue or preventative action to stop similar issues arising
in the future. A system of record is an essential tool for any sporting organisation.
