Safeguarding and Protecting Children (Online Classroom)

Monday 6th January 2025. 6-9pm.

Welsh Gymnastics is dedicated to keeping all our members safe. As part of this commitment, we require everyone in an official role to hold a valid safeguarding certificate. To make this more accessible, we are offering our Safeguarding and Protecting Children course, as well as the Time to Listen course, free of charge to all members. In doing this we hope that this will relieve some of the pressure off clubs and help keep our sport safe for all.

Notes:

• Any no shows will be charged full course price of £35
• Your place is not confirmed until you complete your entry

Pre-Requisites:

• This course can only be attended by 18+ years.

This workshop aims to increase awareness of safeguarding and protecting children, helping coaches to recognise signs of abuse and poor practice, and deal sensitively and effectively with issues that arise. It also prompts a review of coaching practice to ensure that sport provides a positive and enriching experience for children.

The course can be attended by all those responsible for organising and delivering gymnastics (e.g. coaches, leaders, judges, welfare officers, club roles, volunteers and parents).
