Child and Youth Safety

Child safeguarding is about ensuring children and young people are safe from harm or abuse. Protecting children and young people from harm and abuse in sport and recreation is a moral and legal obligation. It is also critical to making sure children and young people enjoy sport and become lifelong participants.

Child safe organisations create a culture, adopt strategies, and take action to promote child wellbeing and prevent harm or abuse of children and young people. They ensure children and young people feel safe, listened to and able to participate in the organisation.
