🌟 Stay safe this summer of sport! 🌟   As we gear up for an exciting summer full of sports, it's important to remember that your safety and well-being are our top priorities. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or supporter, safeguarding is essential to keeping our community strong and supportive. Why is this important? 🔹 support: you deserve to feel safe and supported in your sporting environment. 🔹 awareness: knowing who to contact can make a significant difference in preventing and addressing issues early. 🔹 empowerment: by understanding safeguarding and knowing who to do contact, you can empower yourselves and your teammates to maintain a positive culture.   Remember, it’s essential to speak up if you notice anything that doesn’t seem right, whether it’s for yourself or someone else. Your safety and well-being are paramount, and at CPSU we are committed to ensuring a safe sporting culture for all. Stay hydrated, look out for one another, and have an amazing summer of sport! 🌞🏅 To access all of our resources, head over to our website: https://thecpsu.org.uk/ #SafeInSport #SafeguardingInSport #ChildProtectionInSportUnit #SafeguardingResources #CPSU
