We Want To Hear About Your Experiences of Safeguarding Adults in a Sport! Safeguarding Matters

Complete our online questionnaires to help us develop our understanding of safeguarding adults in sport

The Safeguarding Adults in Sport and Activity project is funded by Sport England to help National Governing Bodies, Active Sports Partnerships, regional partnerships and sport and activity organisations to develop best practice in safeguarding adults at risk.

As part of this project we have been holding discussion forums (focus groups) with sports participants and staff to develop shared understandings of what safeguarding means and what individuals, clubs and organisations can do to keep people safe.\xa0 Amongst other things we discuss possible safeguarding risks, whose responsibility it is to keep people safe and explore good practices for ensuring this happens.

We are still running discussion forums all over the country with all sorts of sporting groups. We would like to hear from anyone interested in hosting a forum.

To organise a forum in your area, please contact Nicola Dean: n.dean@nottingham.ac.uk

Don\u2019t have time for a full participation group? We are also launching a survey during National Safeguarding Adults Week. These will be available online, as paper copies, and in an easy-read format too. These will be available at the ACT conference on the 21st November, or we can arrange to send them out to you if you let Nicola know your address.

There are two surveys.
