Adult Safeguarding in Sport Service
Volunteer Now is funded by Sport NI to provide an Adult Safeguarding in Sport Service.
We help governing bodies to develop and review their adult safeguarding arrangements, to support their affiliated clubs and sporting organisations in this important area of work. We provide information, resources and training on best practice in adult safeguarding. We also provide an advisory service answering individual adult safeguarding queries from Sport NI, governing bodies, clubs and organisations in the sports sector and the general public.
