Safe Sport
County Durham Sport is committed to making sport a safer place for children, young people and vulnerable adults to participate in.
We aim to raise awareness and support those working in sport giving them knowledge and guidance of what they need to do to protect these vulnerable groups and minimise avoidable risks.
Working with partners, coaches, clubs and volunteers we will educate and support those delivering activity ensuring that children, young people and vulnerable adults can enjoy and get the very best from their involvement in sport in County Durham.
