"The "**Safeguarding in Sport for Development**" series aims to address the critical importance of safeguarding within the Sport for Development (S4D) sector. This series seeks to ensure that all sport-based interventions are conducted in a safe, inclusive, and protective environment for all participants, especially children and vulnerable adults. Through a combination of workshops, masterclasses, and panel discussions, the series will equip S4D organizations, practitioners, and stakeholders with the knowledge, skills, and strategies to implement effective safeguarding policies and practices. In this session, we will focus on the development of safeguarding policies in your organisation. The workshop gives participants a more in-depth overview on the eight safeguards from Safe in Sport. It provides information, tools and hands-on tipps to start developing your safeguarding concept and processes. The workshop will also introduce the self-audit tool and invites all participating organisations to complete the self-audit for the next session. About the facilitators: Sara Downie is Safeguarding Officer at Laureus Sport for Good Foundation where she provides support to grantees with strengthening their safeguarding policies and helping them with staff training. She previously worked as a coach in schools in the UK and Mexico, learning firsthand how to implement safeguarding on the ground.
