Administrators play a vital role in sport, particularly to reduce the potential for things to go wrong. Here, you can access resources to help you manage risks in your sport.
Coaches and officials are what make sport tick. They play a crucial role in helping keep sport safe, fair and inclusive. Here are a number of tools and resources to help you do just that.
If you are a player then you can make a huge contribution to making sport safe, fair and inclusive. Your behaviour influences others, not only your team mates, but everyone involved in sport.
As a parent you should be aware of your clubs responsibilities. At the same time you also have responsibilities and you can play a huge role in creating a safe environment for your child.
Every recognised National Sporting Organisation (NSO) in Australia is required to have an Australian Government approved Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy, which applies to all participants in their sport at all levels. This Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy assists sporting organisations to create safe and positive environments for children and young people by ensuring everyone involved is aware of their rights and responsibilities.
The Safeguarding Children and Young People in Sport Induction course by Sport Integrity Australia is here to help you better understand what safeguarding is and how you can understand Safeguarding Children and Young People in sport. By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Define Safeguarding in sport
Explain what a Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy is, who it applies to, and when it applies
Recognise alleged breaches of a Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy
Explain the role of the Safe Practices for Children and Young People

This free online course is for players, volunteers, coaches, officials and administrators in sport.
