Safeguarding in Sport: Building Safe, Inclusive, and Accountable Cultures

This webinar examines the shifting landscape of safeguarding within sport and youth-focused organizations. From athletics to scouting, environments with high youth participation must confront the ongoing risks of abuse and exploitation—both globally and locally.

Ensuring the safety and well-being of young people is not just a duty—it's a shared responsibility. This session will delve into international frameworks, governance strategies, and accountability mechanisms, while highlighting the importance of trauma-informed, person-centered approaches to prevention and protection.

Whether you’re a policymaker, practitioner, or advocate, you’ll gain actionable insights into building approaches that protect everyone, including vulnerable individuals within a sporting environment, who don’t know how or where to turn for assistance.

Featuring the following speakers:

• Annie Tiivas, OBE, Chair and Trustee, Safe Sport International

• Glen Pounder, Chief Safeguarding Officer, Scouting America

• Mhairi Maclennan, CEO and Co-Founder of Kyniska Advocacy
