Participating in sport and physical activity is fun, whatever your age, having fun is no doubt the main reason why most of us get involved. When taking part in sport or physical activity everyone is entitled to do so in a safe environment which encourages progress and enjoyment. With this is mind, sportessex has developed a Child Protection Policy and procedures to ensure that all of those involved in sport with children and young people understand and fulfill their responsibilities. We are committed to the belief that all children, young people and vulnerable adults are entitled to a duty of care, to be nurtured and protected from abuse and poor practice.
The sportessex Designated Child Protection Officer is:
