Safeguarding Young People
The welfare of children and young people is vital to the Cornwall Sports Partnership. This is why we have tried to make these pages as user-friendly as possible by providing the information in a downloadable format.
Our commitments?
Cornwall Sports Partnership is committed to promoting the safety and welfare of children and young people engaged in sporting activities locally. It aims to contribute to safeguarding children and young people by:
* Meeting the requirements of the Standards for Safeguarding & Protecting Children in Sport (CPSU 2002).
* Implementing and demonstrating best safeguarding practice when core staff, volunteers or others are providing services, activities and programmes for children and young people.
* Working with partners to establish and implement agreed consistent minimum safeguarding standards for sports activities locally.
* Requiring those individuals or organisations that are funded or commissioned to provide any services for children and young people to effectively address safeguarding requirements.
* Maximising its influence to promote safeguarding practice and principles within its wider partnership roles and relationships.
It is widely accepted that all children and young people have a right to protection and it is the responsibility of every adult employed by or associated with the CSP to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from abuse.
The CSP undertakes to ensure that every effort is made to safeguard all those who participate in any activities organised by or associated with the CSP.
