Sport, Active Recreation and Play organisations now recognise the importance of having a child protection lead, also known as child protection officer or designated person for child protection. For those in the role of child protection lead in your organisation this course will help you understand what the responsibilities of that role are and how to meet those responsibilities.
This course will give attendees a deeper understanding of appropriate responses to child protection concerns by working through scenarios likely to arise in your sector
Please direct all enquiries to the organiser.
