Parents can play an important role in making sports safe and enjoyable for all children. Here are some ways you can help:

• Encourage your child's club to develop child protection policies and guidelines.
• Check to make sure that the guidelines are being put into practice.
• Find out who the child protection officer is and support them in their work.
• Get involved as a volunteer.
• Go along to support your child's involvement in training, matches or competitions.
• If you are actively involved in the club, make sure your behaviour sets the right example.
