The correct safeguarding training for you will depend upon your role within sport, as well as your existing safeguarding experience and knowledge.
A variety of training courses and learning opportunities are available to help staff and volunteers across different roles in sport build their knowledge and skills to effectively safeguard children and adults at risk. Training courses may be delivered face-to-face, in a virtual classroom, e-learning or as a combination of these (blended learning). The cost can vary considerably from one provider to another.
The CPSU training grid offers an overview of suitable safeguarding training for different roles.
Additionally, Sport England has developed a Guide outlining the range of safeguarding training options available across the sector. While comprehensive, this guide is not exhaustive, as new training opportunities are continually introduced.
The NSPCC guidance on Carrying Out a Training Needs Analysis provides valuable support for organisations in evaluating their safeguarding training requirements and creating appropriate training plans.
