Every individual should be able to participate in sport and Sport for Development (S4D) activities in a safe, inclusive, enjoyable, and harm-free environment. Why? Because this is essential to realising the full potential of sport for the empowerment of all participants. The term safeguarding is used to embrace all measures that must be taken into consideration to create this environment.
What is safeguarding? What makes activities safe, inclusive, enjoyable, and free from harm? Which factors play a role, and which knowledge is necessary? These are some of the questions addressed in this course.
In this introductory course, we define safeguarding, identify the different types of harm, describe the roles and responsibilities of an S4D facilitator, address how you should deal with safeguarding concerns, show you how you can design safe and inclusive activities, and what safeguarding measures you can expect from your organisation.
