Safe and Inclusive
Experiences for Deaf
and Disabled Children
In partnership with the NSPCC, UK Coaching
trains over 20,000 coaches every year
on how to recognise and report any
safeguarding concerns. What’s more,
one-third of the proceeds go back to the
NSPCC to help them put a stop to child
cruelty.
We launched the Safeguarding Deaf and
Disabled Children in Sport online course,
as a convenient way for coaches to update
their understanding of safeguarding with
a focus on how sport and physical activity
can be made safe and inclusive for deaf and
disabled children.

in Sport Unit (CPSU).

“We feel this training will help to equip
coaches with the information they need to
develop their confidence working with this
vulnerable group and ensure every young
person’s needs are front and centre of
coaching activity.”
Coaches who have completed the course
commented on the ease in which they could
take the learning into practice.
