yaa.safeguarding@gmail.comSafeguarding training for coaches
Thomas Keane - 19 May 2023
I would just like to ensure that all coaches in the county are aware of the requirements of Safeguarding training.
It is now mandatory for Archery GB licensed coaches to complete tutor-led safeguarding training as part of their licence, and this should be renewed every 3 years. This is in line with guidance from UK Coaching and the Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU).
This safeguarding training MUST be tutor-led, either online or in a face-to-face classroom. Full details about Archery GB Safeguarding can be found on the AGB website - the link here will take you straight to the relevant page:
Archery GB - Safeguarding Training
Tutor-led courses can be found on your Sport80 portal, in the Courses section. Here you will find a number of safeguarding workshops, run by UK Coaching, which have an Archery GB discount. These can be booked on your portal.
If a face-to-face safeguarding workshop would be prefered, YAA can organise one of these if there is sufficient interest in the county. If this would be of interest to you and your coaches, please let me know.
