You will learn the importance of person-centred care and taking an individualised approach to your coaching practice that puts the child or young person at the heart of every session.

Through interactive scenarios and discussions with people from different sports and activities, you will have the opportunity to explore the consequences of those decisions in a safe and supportive environment, helping to increase your confidence to deal with safeguarding issues effectively and counteract the latest threats to emerge that could impact on the physical or mental health of children in modern Britain.
