NSPCC Training
by Tania Craig
The Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU) is part of the NSPCC and is funded by Sport England, Sport Northern Ireland, Sport Wales, UK Sport and The Football Association.
The CPSU was founded in 2001 in response to a series of high-profile cases of abuse of young athletes. We work to help improve safeguarding and child protection practices within sport organisations, to ensure all children and young people are safe while participating in sport and physical activity at all levels.
