Play Sport, Stay Safe
Taking part in sport and activities should be fun for children and young people - and their safety should be a top priority for your club or organisation.
The NSPCC and CHILDREN 1ST's Child Protection in Sport teams have produced the following video clips - comprising of 17 chapters - to help adults recognise, respond and report any concerns they may have about youngsters involoved in their activities.
These films are based on situations and issues that often arise in sports settings. They will give you examples of what you and your organisation need to do to safeguard the children and young people you work with.
They feature both club and school settings, but the messages in them apply to everyone who works with children and young people in sport – professionals and volunteers in any role, any sport or activity and at any venue or site.
