Safeguarding
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is EVERYONES responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play. In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively, all coaches should make sure their approach is child centred. This means that they should consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child.
