This face-to-face delivered workshop, is designed by Jersey Sport for younger volunteers (age 13-17) who are assisting with coaching, officiating, marshalling or other activities within local sport organisations. The Jersey-specific referral system will be included.

This workshop will help participants understand how to keep children and themselves safe in the sessions they are leading or supporting. It is designed to introduce young coaches, officials, volunteers and sports leaders to the concept of ‘good safeguarding practice’ and is the ideal environment to develop confidence in how to identify what abuse of a child in sport may look like and the actions that should be taken which are appropriate to the age of the participant. The workshop will also cover the “position of trust” and the responsibility transition of role from a senior player into a young volunteer.

Please note: you must be a current resident of Jersey to access our training and workshops.
