The main learning and messages from this session are:

A victim or survivor-centred approach involves doing everything you can to reassure and support the person disclosing. This approach should be embedded across all aspects of safeguarding. People who have experienced abuse in sport are in a unique position to inform and improve safeguarding. Any engagement with people with lived experience of abuse must be meaningful and have the scope to really impact on what your organisation says and does. Everyone in your organisation has a role to play in creating an environment that doesn’t re-traumatise those who have experienced abuse.
