title	Involving children/young people and adults at risk

Safeguarding should be a subject that children, young people and adults at risk are familiar with, not just who the Safeguarding Officer is, but where to find out more information. Young people and adults at risk should be consulted with and listened to.

You could consider regularly seeking feedback during training session, 1:1 chats or surveys about your coaching style, competitions, team management etc.

Players should be encouraged to ask questions and to contribute ideas to the club. There should also be clear expectations of players’ behaviour.

title	Creating the right environment or culture

As a coach, you are in a position of power: deciding who is in the team and who isn’t. You contribute to club success, player enjoyment and safety. With power comes responsibility. Good coaches understand that they work in collaboration with clubs, parents, players, children and volunteers. They understand that all those people are all in a bystander position. Coaches should encourage people to call out, challenge and intervene, not create a permissive environment/false consensus.

When things go wrong it is sometimes because the coach is too powerful; for fear of deselection, negative treatment or perceived as failing, people do not feel free to speak out or to question poor practice.
