Safeguarding courses

All clubs need an appointed and trained club welfare officer, and must ensure that all coaches are trained in basic safeguarding awareness.

Not only is this vital good practice, but it is also a requirement of the government safeguarding guidance; ‘Working Together’, and forms part of England Boxing’s child protection procedures.

Recognising this requirement not only contributes to the richness of the club and well-being of its members, but also drastically reduces the risk of the club falling foul of litigation in the event that an incident occurs.

Club Welfare Officers and all coaches are required to attend a three-hour Safeguarding and Protecting Children workshop, and Club Welfare Officers are also required to attend an NSPCC Time to Listen workshop, which can be booked separately. The minimum age to attend a course is 16.

Please be aware we cannot accept any online courses for Safeguarding or First Aid.

The Football Association are still running online courses so they will not be accepted at the moment for Coach applications.

Please make sure your courses are face-to-face before booking.
