Cycling Ulster’s Safeguarding Officer, Marian Lamb, will be delivering a Safeguarding Awareness Course tomorrow night in the Ashburn Hotel in Lurgan beginning at 7.00pm. The course has been requested by Apollo CT but is open to members of other clubs. The course lasts three hours and is a must for anyone who will be working with young people. If you would like to attend this course please come along tot he Ashburn hotel in Lurgan tomorrow night.
The growth of youth development within our clubs is great to see and our clubs all realise the importance of putting in the infrastructures to keep children safe. As a result he demand for Safeguarding courses has grown as has the number of AccessNI vetting applications which we now receive. Children who have positive early experiences of sport are more likely to continue some degree of lifelong participation. This contributes to their ongoing physical and emotional wellbeing in adulthood. Sport, therefore, has a lot to offer children – provided it takes place in an environment that is safe, promotes enjoyment, and respects the physical and emotional health and wellbeing of each individual athlete.
