The Responsibility of Child Protection
It is very important that children are given a safe and secure environment in which to participate in physical activity and sport sessions.
The Children’s Act (2004) provides a framework for services working with children and young people.
The Children’s Act (2004) requires that all place providing a service to children must:
-Provide care, planned and
supervised activities for children
- Regularly monitor and review
the services that they provide
- Employ staff with appropriate
CRB checks
- Be appropriately licensed to
provide certain activities.
The Responsibility of Equality
Sports Leaders will work with a wide range of participants. These participants will come from different backgrounds, have different cultures, be different ages, be of different abilities and be of different genders.
Whatever the different may be, the sports leader should treat every participant with the same dignity and respect.
Equality means that everyone is equal. Each participant should be treated the same and given the same opportunities in a sport activity session.
The Responsibility of Rules and Regulations
When leading sport sessions the sports leader should teach their participants the rules and regulations of the specific sport.
For example, the sports leader should teach the participants how to make a fair, legal tackle in the sport.
This helps to protect the participants involved. Participants should be taught to
respect their opponents and the officials. They should know the consequences of breaking the rules.
For example, knowing that a handball is illegal in football and will result in a free kick or penalty.
The Responsibility of Ethics and Values
The following principles should be encouraged and promoted within every session:
- Friendship - Equal Opportunities- Respect for others - Fair Play- Playing with the right spirit - Teamwork and Effort
A sports leader should encourage the participants to be honest, fair and responsible.
