4. The Ann Craft Trust shares advice on Adult Safeguarding

Our fourth episode focuses on the important topic of Safeguarding Adults. If your club/organisation has regular contact with the public, you have a crucial role to play in the support, identification and reporting of adults who may be at risk of harm. Getting this right will ensure safe access to sport and physical activity for everyone. In this episode we are joined by Nicola from the Ann Craft Trust, who explains more about Safeguarding Adults, how your club/group can get it right and Safeguarding Adults Week.

6. Does your club/organisation have an inclusive offer for disabled participants?

Our sixth episode takes a deep-dive into how grassroots clubs/groups can work to increase disabled people’s participation in sport and physical activity. New research released by Activity Alliance highlighted a demand for greater training in delivering activities to disabled people. With almost 20% of the population having a disability or a long-term health condition, Club Matters wants to help you ensure your organisation can offer inclusive participation and volunteering opportunities that are appealing, welcoming and accommodating for all. There are lots of things to be considered so we are lucky to have a range of experts from a variety of sports and backgrounds on this episode!
