ALL CHILDREN, EVERYWHERE, SAFE IN SPORT
We believe children have the right to take part in sport in a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment.
We know you do, too.
It’s time to get off the sidelines and stop abuse in sport from happening before it starts.
The International Safeguards for Children in Sport initiative brings together organisations
from six continents.
Together we make sport safe for children by:
The eight international safeguards
Have a safeguarding policy
Know what to do if you are worried about a child
Provide advice and support to staff and children
Understand and address risk
Agree what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour
Safely recruit and train your staff
Share safeguarding with your partners
Monitor, evaluate and learn

It’s up to each of us to make sport a safe space for every child, everywhere. Make the International Safeguards for Children in Sport part of your game plan. Wherever you are on your safeguarding journey, we are here to help.
what is safeguarding?
When children are safe in sport, everybody wins! One incident of abuse in sport is one too many. It is every child’s right to be safe during sport, and it is every organisation’s responsibility to protect those children. Safeguarding is the way we keep children safe in sport.
