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
• Identify how to respond to alleged breaches of a Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy

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