Training

Two training courses are available within child protection:

ScUK Safeguarding and Protecting Children Workshop

This 3-hour workshop is suitable for coaches and volunteers who may come in to contact with children. This workshop explores the Code of Conduct for those in contact with children and provides basic information on recognising child abuse and responding to concerns.

Scottish Swimming recommends that all volunteers attend this workshop for the following reasons:

1. You never know who and when a person will confide in you.To ensure that volunteers keep themselves safe as well as the athletes.
2. This workshop can be organised for clubs directly at a date and time that is suitable for club personnel.

These workshops will be organised through your Child Protection Officer, or click below for a Workshop Request Form.
