If you have any concerns about the safety or welfare of a child, young person or vulnerable adult in a sporting or physical activity environment please see the list of organisations below.
All clubs should have a welfare officer, who can be the first point of contact for any concerns.
The Child Protection in Sport Unit have advice for parents who are worried about a child, or something they have witnessed at a sports club.
