Sport can have a very powerful and positive influence on people – especially young people. There are a number of positive effects that can only take place if the welfare of young people is in the hands of those that adopt practices that support, protect and empower them.

The reality is that abuse does take place in sport and England Squash are committed to doing everything possible to ensure there is no room in our sport for those who seek to abuse children and young people.

This workshop is aimed at coaches to help them examine their own practice when coaching children and recognise their responsibilities in protecting them from abuse.

By the end of this workshop, you should be able to:

• identify and recognise the key principles of good coaching practice, and the implications for your coaching

• identify ways of dealing with your own feelings about child abuse

• recognise and respond to the signs and indicators of child abuse

• identify appropriate action if misconduct and/or abuse is suspected
