Nicola chats to Kev Murphy from The National Working Group (NWG) and Denise Richards from The Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU).

They discuss the many unexpected side-effects of enforced government lockdowns, including a rise in certain forms of abuse, such as domestic abuse and online abuse. They also explore how the lockdown affected sports and activity clubs in particular, and talk about ways in which organisations can help their members return to play as we prepare to move out of lockdown once again.
