Safeguarding Adults

Coaches need to adopt different approaches for responding to adult safeguarding concerns than those involving children and young people. UK Coaching has teamed up with Ann Craft Trust, the UK’s lead agency for safeguarding adults, to create a brand-new and fully immersive learning experience. This course is designed not just for coaches, but any individual who interacts with adults in various settings in sport and physical activity: participants, colleagues, spectators, and parents or guardians. Coaches play a pivotal role in connecting with a network of people to create a safe and inclusive environment for all adults.

Safeguarding Children

More than half a million coaches have been through our Safeguarding and Protecting Children workshop (which launched in 1995), enabling them to provide a positive and enriching experience of physical activity and sport for all children. UK Coaching works in partnership with the NSPCC and CPSU to regularly review and develop the course content and materials to ensure the learning content, guidance and delivery is current.
