Athletes’ voices – NOW : Placing the Athletes Voices at the Centre of Sport Safeguarding
Turning the safeguarding debate on its head, this conference will focus on the needs, priorities and athletes’ safeguarding perspectives. Athletes will share their own first-hand views. Each session will include two athlete respondents (some with lived experience of violence in sport), who reflect on the data presented.

Friday, March 12th will see 6 interdisciplinary sessions cover a range of themes, including athlete and coach communication, athlete-centred approaches to justice, and independent interventions. A final panel will discuss “Where do we go from here?
