Child Protection 
Sport can have a very powerful and positive influence on people
- especially young people. Not only can it provide opportunities
for enjoyment and achievement; it can also develop valuable
qualities such as self-esteem, leadership and teamwork. These
positive effects can only take place if sport is in the right hands
- in the hands of those who place the welfare of all young people
first and adopt practices that support, protect and empower
them.
Malvern Hills District Council is committed to creating,
promoting and supporting the development of safe sporting
opportunities and to make sure that information and training
opportunities are available to ensure best practice when working
with young people.
The guidelines and downloads contained in this section is not a
definitive list and forms only a small percentage of the
information available on the subject of child protection. For
advice on issues of any size that may arise in your club, it is
recommended that you use the useful contacts list for sports
specific guidance.
