Triathlon Scotland - Child Wellbeing & Protection in Sport

Child Wellbeing & Protection in Sport - Online Workshop
Monday, September 7, 2026 | 18:00-21:00 GMT
The Child Wellbeing and Protection in Sport workshop is the gold standard for child protection training across all sports governing bodies. This essential course equips participants with crucial knowledge to safeguard children's welfare within sporting environments.
During this comprehensive three-hour online session, attendees will delve into recognizing signs of abuse and learn how to respond sensitively and effectively when necessary. The curriculum covers:
- Identifying good coaching practices and their implications.
- Understanding personal values in relation to child protection issues.
- Recognizing potential indicators of child abuse.
- Taking appropriate action if concerns arise.
Participants are required to complete an initial Brightspace module, estimated at 1-2 hours, before attending the live webinar. This preparatory work ensures a smooth transition into the interactive virtual classroom experience on September 7th from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM GMT.
The online workshop is delivered through sportscotland's learning hub in Brightspace. It features real-time interaction with tutors and fellow participants, enabling discussions, breakout sessions, and practical demonstrations via video content and live presentations.
Two weeks prior to the event, you will receive an email from Brightspace titled 'sportscotland: Enrolment Confirmation', which includes your login details for accessing the course materials. Additionally, Triathlon Scotland will send joining instructions with a direct link to enter the virtual classroom.
To participate fully in this training, ensure that you have access to either a desktop/laptop or tablet and maintain a stable internet connection throughout the session. Upon completion of both modules, participants must complete an evaluation survey on Brightspace to receive their certificate.
For technical assistance, refer to the Support Portal available within the initial log-in screen, home page, and course homepage for troubleshooting help. If you encounter difficulties logging in or accessing your account, reach out directly via D2L's support chat or email service.
