North Yorkshire Sport

North Yorkshire Sport is committed to making sport a safer place for children and young people to participate in. Our policy will raise awareness and support those working in sport giving them the knowledge of what they need to do to protect children involved in sport and to minimise avoidable risks. This document will provide support to parents/carers giving them increased confidence and peace of mind when they enrol their children on a sporting activity. Working with coaches, clubs and volunteers we will educate and support those delivering activity on our behalf, ensuring children and young people can enjoy and get the very best from their involvement in sport in North Yorkshire. We have worked closely with the NSPCC Child Protection of Sport Unit to ensure that North Yorkshire Sport has the necessary standards in place to help create a safe sporting environment for children and young people and to protect them from harm.
