The NSPCC Child Protection in Sport Unit is once again hosting its #SafeInSport awareness raising week from 7-11 October 2024. The campaign reminds us that everyone has a role to play in keeping children and young people safe in sport. This year’s campaign is focusing on building safer sporting communities.
Everyone in the StreetGames community plays a vital role in ensuring children and young people are safe, supported, and empowered to thrive. Safeguarding is about adopting policies and practices that enable a caring environment where every child and young person feels listened to, valued and protected.
We know from our network survey that the mental and physical wellbeing of the young people you work with is of the highest importance. Underpinning effective Doorstep Sport is a person-centred approach which prioritises and responds to what young people need both within and beyond the activities being delivered.
This #SafeInSport week, we’re celebrating the power of our collective responsibility. Throughout the campaign, we will be recognising the valuable role of Doorstep Sport in providing a safe space for young people. You can read some positive examples from our network members below.
