It is the responsibility of everyone to ensure that sport activities are safe and FUN!!!
It is essential that everybody from parents/carers to sports coaches and leaders to sports clubs and of course that the children themselves are aware of good practice to ensure that a child’s safety is paramount in sport.
The leaflets below are designed to provide you with information on good practice.
