Children and Sport
Sport helps children to grow and develop and can provide opportunities for enjoyment and achievement. Through sport children can develop valuable qualities such as leadership, confidence and self-esteem.
Every child and young person has the right to have fun, be safe and free from harm whether training for a local team, playing for a local club or representing a sport and country at international level.
It is essential that parents/carers have a general awareness of good practice when selecting a sports activity for a young person to attend. This will ensure that they can enjoy sport within a safe and secure environment where they feel protected and empowered to make the most suitable choices.
Providing children with positive sporting experiences means that they will be more likely to achieve their true potential.
The Safe Sport section of our website provides more detailed advice and guidance about keeping your child safe in sport. Please click here to find out more.
