The Child Participation in Safeguarding 2022 Global Summit, taking place from 6 to 8 September, is the first step in a three-year child participation programme developed by Keeping Children Safe.
This animation has been produced to help anyone involved in delivering sport or activities to children and young people.
It shows the difference between child protection and safeguarding in a sports setting and looks in more depth at how children and young people can be further protected beyond their time at training sessions.
We take a closer look at contextual safeguarding and how, by looking at where young people practice skills in their spare time, how they travel to practice or where they go afterwards, we can help to make them even safer.
"Children need us to keep them safe while they do sports" - this is the message of the campaign carried out by Terre des hommes in Romania, within the European project Keeping Children Safe in Sports.
Terre des hommes, together with its partners - the Romanian Football Federation and the Romanian Gymnastics Federation - and with the official support of the National Authority for the Protection of the Rights of the Child and Adoption (Romania) aims to improve the standards on child protection in sport.
