Voice of the Child
Involving children and young people in decision making, planning and hearing their voices is an important part of creating a safe culture in a club or activity.
The CPSU have developed guidance to help your sport or activity to meet the child’s safeguarding needs and provide the relevant tools to involving and listening to a child’s voice within your setting.

PLAY THEIR WAY – When children shape their sporting experience, anything is possible. The Play Their Way movement aims to support coaches to give children and young people a choice in their experiences of activity, create space for them to voice their wishes and enable them to take ownership of their development journey. When you embrace child-first coaching every coach has the potential to transform lives. Further details and resources can be found here – https://www.playtheirway.org/
