Safeguarding and Protecting Children 2: Reflecting on Practice

It differs from its predecessor in that it deliberately builds upon the practical experience a coach will have already gained in their day-to-day role as a coach; giving them the chance to reflect upon as well as learn from other coaches’ experiences. By completing this workshop the coach will be able to:

• actively promote a positive and child-centred coaching environment
• enjoy peace of mind by being fully informed of current national legislation relevant to your role
• calmly and confidently recognise, make informed decisions about safeguarding children and respond appropriately should any problematic situations be encountered.

By reflecting and being aware of their feelings and thoughts, coaches are more likely to consider situations objectively and deal with them effectively whenever necessary. The workshop also prompts a review of practice to ensure their sport provides a positive and enriching experience for children and that coaches’ behaviour is always above reproach.
