It is essential that all people who work with under 18’s in hockey receive training that is appropriate to their role. This course provides a basic level of safeguarding training to ensure young people enjoy hockey in a safe and enjoyable environment. After completing this training, participants will be able to:
- describe what safeguarding is and why safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility
- define the different categories of abuse and know how to recognise them
- explain how to create a safe and enjoyable environment using good practice and recognising poor practice
- know how to respond to and report concerns
- access further information where relevant.
