The main learning and messages from this session are:
  1. The initial assessment of the seriousness of a concern will affect how and by whom the concern will be dealt with – either within the sport organisation or by external services.
  2. It is important that there is a robust reporting process in place and that everyone understands their responsibility to pass on concerns and how they can do this.
  3. Simple and easily accessible reporting procedures will give individuals the confidence to know that their concerns will be listened to, be taken seriously, be confidential, and not result in any harm to themselves for reporting a concern.

When you are ready, move on to Session 8 Prioritising your next steps – action planning, where you will explore developing a safeguarding action plan.
