Safeguarding & Protecting Children & Young
People in Sport in Surrey
Play Sport, Stay Safe
Active Surrey Sports
Partnership (ASSP) 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.
Our vision is to "make Surrey a more active and successful sporting county" and 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.
Each week more than eight
million UK children participate in sport.
The majority of children who take part
do so in a safe and helpful atmosphere, with genuine support from
the adults involved. But for the small minority of children who are
abused during sporting activities, the picture is very
different.
It is important we are
vigilant and work together to take the necessary steps to safeguard
children and young people and protect them from individuals who may
abuse their position of trust.
ASSP is committed
to working towards achievement of the
National Standards for Safeguarding & Protecting
Children; a benchmark of good practice for sports
organisations. Having achieved the Preliminary Level, ASSP
is hoping to attain Intermediate and Advanced levels
by March 2007 and 2008 respectively.
We are committed to
promoting good practice in the care of children and young people in
sport. Click on the links below
