Child protection

Children have a fundamental right to be safe from any form of harm or abuse while involved in sport. This is a legal requirement as well as a moral obligation. To ensure sporting environments are safe for children, all levels in sport need to be aware of the requirements and risks, committed to practices that minimise the risks, and respond responsibly to incidents and allegations of child abuse.
