Course Information:

Coaches, instructors and club officials play a key role in keeping those involved in snowsports safe and are often the front line of delivery. They have a shared responsibility with everyone else involved in snowsports to promote the welfare of all children, young people and adults at risk. We should all ensure those who are at risk are safeguarded from abuse and enjoy their experience.

1. Understand what safeguarding means
2. Identify how safeguarding issues can arise and what you can do to minimize the chance of them happening
