A course aimed at better preparing local sports clubs and those involved with sport to look after children will be held next week.

‘Safeguarding and Protecting Children’ is a three-hour workshop, aimed primarily at coaches. However, the workshop can be delivered to all those with responsibility for the organisation of children’s sport, for example within governing bodies of sport, local authorities, sports and leisure centres, sports clubs.

Organised by the National Coaching Foundation, the course takes place at The Elephant and Castle Hotel, Newtown, on Thursday, November 14 from 6pm-9pm.The cost is £20.

It is expected that by the end of the workshop, participants should be able to:

-       Identify and recognise good coaching practice, and the implications for your coaching

-       Explore your values and feelings in relation to child abuse, and recognise their potential impact on your response

-       Recognise and respond to the signs and symptoms of child abuse and poor practice

-       Take appropriate action, if concerns about a child arise
