Safeguarding and Protecting Children Workshop

This workshop is recommended as part of the minimum level of training and awareness for adults working with children.

It will help you:

• To recognise your responsibilities towards children and understand the formal reporting structure to be followed in the event that you become aware of any concerns relating to poor practice or abuse.
• To reflect and compare your own practice against what is currently regarded as good practice and to identify ways to improve.
• To ensure that  you do not conduct yourself in a manner where the welfare of a child or children could be at risk or where, as responsible adults, you could be putting yourself in a position likely to give rise to allegations of poor practice or misconduct.
• To understand and appreciate the significance of the recruitment procedures outlined in Section 5 of British Rowing’s Safeguarding and Protecting Children Policy.

Who should attend?

It is suitable for Coaches, Club Welfare Officers, Club Chairs, Junior Co-Ordinators, and anyone in a role with significant access to, or responsibility for, children.

This workshop is a requirement for all coaches and a prerequisite for anyone wanting to attend a Level 2 Club Coach Qualification course.

How is the workshop structured?
