Sport Scotland Board and Committee Safeguarding Training

This eLearning module is specifically targeted at board and/or committee members, including sub-committees, of a club or sporting organisation (eLearning not to be confused with Wellbeing & Protection training or CWPS for coaches and volunteers working directly with children).

This eLearning focuses on the knowledge and skills that board and committee members require, as they are responsible for the management and governance of gymnastics clubs. It is essential that committee members also understand their role in safeguarding. Even though they may not work directly with children, they have a duty of care to ensure that appropriate safeguarding policies, procedures, and culture are in place across the organisation. Their awareness and involvement are crucial in creating a safe environment for all members, supporting staff and volunteers in implementing good practice, and ensuring that safeguarding remains a priority at every level of club management.
