Dear Members,
We would like to take the opportunity to update our members with the virtual training that is currently available online and continues to be delivered during this unprecedented period.
Child Wellbeing and Protection in Sport and Child Wellbeing Officer virtual training courses have been developed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills required for their role as a coach in their sport. The training will provide you with the knowledge on child wellbeing and protection that will give you the confidence to deal with issues that may arise in your role working with children.
