Is the NSPCC exaggerating the risk and scaremongering?
Our work with sports organisations is not about scaremongering. It is about putting in place best practice to safeguard children. Any parent or carer whose child is involved in sport needs to know that their child is safe from harm when in the care of someone else. The organisation concerned needs to have taken a number of actions to demonstrate that the welfare of any child they have responsibility for is their greatest priority.
