Creating Safer Sporting Environments for Children

Published Tue 05 Oct 2021

The Office of Sport will host a number of webinars over the next months which will outline how to create safer sporting environments for children and young people.

The first program is a free 90-minute Child Safe Sport webinar featuring practical ways to be more child safe for boards, committees, leaders, administrators and volunteers.

The webinar will also introduce a range of resources, tools and templates that will assist volunteers to safeguard children involved in sport, including an overview of the new Child Safe Standards. 

The second training program is targeted at Member Protection Information Officers (MPIO). MPIOs play a vital role in protecting the rights and welfare of club members as the 'go to' person to raise issues, concerns and complaints.

The webinar involves two free components:

  1. Play by the Rules online MPIO module hosted on the Sport Integrity Australia e-learning hub
  2. Office of Sport webinar session - a two-hour practical session.
