You have now almost completed the Safeguarding Essentials course. You just need to take the end-of-course quiz to achieve your certificate and digital badge.

By completing the quiz and the course, you have started to think about what safeguarding is and the difference it should make to your sport. Yet it can be difficult to know where to start in putting all this information into practice.

The International Safeguards for Children in Sport has lots of clear information and examples to help you and covers eight Safeguards that will help your organisation make sport safer for everyone taking part.

Visit www.safeinsport.org to find out more.

Two important final messages are:

  • Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, so think about who else needs to be involved in this so that the actions are shared.
  • Getting safeguarding right in your organisation will take time, so set yourself realistic timescales.

Remember

Take the end-of-course quiz to achieve your certificate and digital badge.

Also, look out for the next online course to support this programme, which will be launched in 2024.
