Triathlon Scotland - Child Wellbeing & Protection in Sport

On February 16, 2027, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Triathlon Scotland invites all those involved with children and young people in sports to attend the Child Wellbeing & Protection in Sport workshop. Recognized by governing bodies as essential training for child protection, this virtual classroom session aims to equip participants with the knowledge and confidence needed to address potential issues sensitively.
The three-hour online webinar will cover critical topics such as recognizing signs of abuse, understanding good coaching practices, and exploring personal values related to child welfare. Participants can also complete a pre-workshop module on Brightspace, an interactive platform that offers flexibility in learning at their own pace before the live session. This preparatory work includes an informative quiz designed to enhance comprehension.
During the workshop, attendees will engage with experienced tutors through video calls and participate in group discussions. The virtual classroom environment allows for real-time interaction, enabling participants to ask questions and receive immediate feedback. Detailed guidance on how to access Brightspace and join the webinar via a provided link ensures that all users can comfortably navigate this online learning experience.
Upon completion of both modules and the live session, attendees must complete a survey within Brightspace to unlock their certification. This comprehensive training not only provides essential skills but also fosters a supportive community dedicated to safeguarding young athletes in sports environments.
