The NSW Office of Sport is bringing a series of interactive child safety workshops to the Mid-North Coast and North Coast in March to support local sporting organisations to keep children safe from harm and abuse in sport.
The workshops will focus on the needs of community sport volunteers, providing practical skills to identify and manage common risks to children in community sport.
The workshops are relevant to committee members, officials and volunteers involved in community sport with participants learning how to safely manage and deescalate challenging behaviour, apply Child Safe Standards and the role of Member Protection Information Officers.
Mid-North Coast workshops will be held at Taree and Port Macquarie from 2 – 5 March with North Coast workshops held at Coffs Harbour, Lismore and Ballina from 23 - 26 March.
