Safeguarding and Protecting Children (16–18)

‘Safeguarding and Protecting Children (16–18)’ is intended primarily for UKCC Level 1 assistant coaches but can be adapted for other groups (eg young leaders, young officials, sport students). This workshop aims to increase awareness of safeguarding and protecting children, helping coaches to recognise signs of abuse and poor practice, and deal sensitively and effectively with
issues that arise. It also prompts a review of coaching practice to ensure that sport provides a positive and enriching experience for children.

The core of the course is taken from the original ‘Safeguarding and Protecting Children’
workshop, but the activities have been tailored for 16–18-year-old delegates.

SAQ (Speed Agility and Quickness) Awards

SAQ® Training is a system of progressive exercise and instruction aimed at amongst other things developing fundamental motor abilities, balance, co-ordination and ultimately complete control of body movement.

All coaches, managers and trainers want athletes with explosive acceleration, lightening responses and reaction, control of movements and a reduced incidence of injury. Such skills have traditionally been considered natural talents that can't be developed. However, all athletes whatever their size and shape, whether young or old, professional or amateur can improve their fundamental movement ability and enjoy tremendous performance improvements with SAQ programmes and the SAQ Training drills that comprise them.
