Parents in Sport Week

'Parents in Sport Week' is a campaign delivered by the Children Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU). The overall objective of the annual campaign is to promote and celebrate the vital contribution that parents make to youth sport. That could be helping to run a club or providing encouragement and support to their child participating.

This year, the campaign theme centres around giving parents the information and tools they need to be part of the bigger safeguarding picture in sport. The knowledge gained will empower parents with the confidence, understanding, and tools they need to identify and report concerns in their child's sport.

There are a number of free resources for parents to use:

• Watch the animation
