Safeguarding and Protecting Children & Young People in Sport in Surrey
Play Sport, Stay Safe
Active Surrey recognises the value of sport and the important role it plays in improving the quality of life for many people living in the Surrey community.
To help achieve the county's vision of "making Surrey a more active and successful sporting county", we are committed to ensuring that children and young people are able to enjoy and achieve through sport by being safe and free from harm when they take part.
Active Surrey is committed to continuous improvement in safeguarding, having achieved the Advanced Standard of the National Standards for Safeguarding & Protecting Children; a benchmark of good practice for sports organisations. Active Surrey achieved the Advanced Standard in July 2010 and will work with Sport England and the Child Protection in Sport Unit to implement the next framework when it has been established.
We are committed to promoting good practice in the care of children and young people in sport. Click on the links below for information, advice and resources:
