Child ProtectionChild Protection Framework
These positive effects can only accrue if sport is in the right hands - in the hands of those who place the welfare of all young people first and adopt practices of support, protection and empowerment. Sports organizations have become increasingly aware that some individuals who want to harm children will use sport as a medium to gain access to young people. All sports have a duty to safeguard children from abuse within the sport. The Welsh Sports Association is committed to working in partnership with its constituent members - the National Governing Bodies of Sport in Wales - to ensure that information and training opportunities are in place to deliver best practice when working with young people. The Association is committed to developing policy and implementation procedures to allow young people to excel in a safe environment and to transmit a reassuring signal to parents that will also have a positive impact on recruitment into sport. The Association's approach to child protection is based on the principles recognized within UK and International legislation and Government guidance. The following have been taken into consideration:
The Association is committed to working with its partner organizations - Sport Wales and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU) to raise awareness about the needs of children in sport and how National Governing Bodies of Sport, and their member clubs can act to minimise the risks to children in their care.
There are five standards to the framework.
The framework has been developed to meet the needs of the diverse range of NGBs in Wales, and a two year financial arrangement between Sport Wales and the CPSU has been agreed to ensure that NGBs have access to professional guidance and support.
