By completing this workshop you will be able to: review your own practice to ensure that it complies with advocated and recognised codes of conduct; identify your values and feelings in relation to child abuse and recognise how these might potentially impact on your responses; recognise signs and indicators of child abuse and understand the impact of abuse on children; respond in an appropriate way to children who disclose that they are being abused; take appropriate action if concerns are raised that suggest a child is being abused.

Please note if you're a young volunteer in sport under the age of 16 'Keeping Safe in Sport: Safeguarding for Young Volunteers (13+) is the workshop for you. Anyone under the age of 16 will not receive a certificate for attending this workshop.
