Safeguarding

Everyone has a part to play in ensuring that the young people and adults in netball are safe and getting the most they can from their involvement in the sport. Being involved in sport can bring many benefits including confidence, health and friendships, but we know that people may come to netball with pressures, abuse or trauma in their life. This is why we also include wellbeing in our definition of safeguarding. We also recognise that a small minority of people seek opportunities in sport to abuse children or other vulnerable people, or to abuse their position of trust.

We hope you find the information you need on these pages.
