The NSPCC has launched its Keeping Your Child Safe in Sport campaign, backed by Sir Bradley Wiggins, as a new survey reveals almost a fifth of parents (15%) surveyed are not confident they could spot the signs if their child was suffering sexual, physical or emotional abuse at their local sports club.
The campaign aims to provide parents and carers with the right knowledge and resources so they can make confident informed decisions when raising concerns with their child’s sport club. Advice tools and supporting information are available from the NSPCC and the Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU).
The research carried out by YouGov also found that one in 10 parents were not confident they knew how to raise concerns with their child’s sports club about their child’s safety. The figures are based on 1,000 parents of children aged 3 to 16 years old who attend sports clubs across the UK.
