WE ARE PROTECTING SAFETY IN SPORTS AND EDUCATION

SELFguarding has created The Hayley’s Course; an online course designed to target and address the cultures in sport; on a straightforward platform, for young people to access from anywhere.

SELFguarding's Mission

To empower and nurture as many UK children as possible in developing their own sense of self, integrity and accountability in their sports contexts. To empower them to create better, safer outcomes for themselves and others in those environments.
To give young people the knowledge and confidence to feel at ease in their chosen sport, so they can dedicate all their time in developing their skills.

SELFguarding’s Aims

One

To protect children and vulnerable young adults, using a cultural approach that supports existing guidelines and legal approaches.

Two

To make The Hayley’s Course a part of school’s curriculum and sports clubs.

Three

To provide teachers with the tools and resources to teach a cultural approach.

Four

To encourage young people to be more aware of their environments, so they can help adults help them stay safe.

What SELFguarding offers

SELFguarding offers young people a chance to educate, empower and protect themselves within different sporting environments, enabling them to pursue their chosen path safely and with confidence.
Once The Hayley’s Course, is completed young people will be better equipped for their chosen sport, and have a sense of freedom to decide their own sporting journey.
SELFguarding will then provide a badge and an online certificate you can print.
Also in acknowledgement of completion, a handbook for parents/guardians will be given to continue to support their child’s sporting journey.

SELFguarding's Benefits

The principles behind SELFguarding are created to help protect children and vulnerable young adults in qualified sports settings.

It will enable them to recognise and combat the potential dangers of various forms of abuse, while giving them the confidence to speak up when something is not right.
