Safeguarding in Sport

To maximise sport’s positive impact on society, sports organisations must create and sustain safe, healthy, diverse, and inclusive environments that support the growth and success of athletes and officials.

Effective safeguarding is a core responsibility for every organisation in sport. Sport brings values of fairness, respect, and excellence to society, but as opportunities for athletes and participants expand, so do the risks. Safeguarding teams are under growing pressure to identify concerns early, handle sensitive information securely, and protect trust in their organisations.
