Just some information on an on-line course that is available for Safeguarding Children in Sport.
Not something that we like to think about, or think would happen within our sport, but the information is here for anyone that would like to read it and look at the course.
The course is online and doesn't actually take that long to do (I have done it) and costs $30.00.
