Introducing NSPCC Sport - the new name for the Child Protection in Sport Unit.
For more than 25 years, the CPSU has worked alongside sports organisations, including Active Partnerships, to strengthen safeguarding across the sport and physical activity sector.

Their new name - NSPCC Sport - reflects their evolving role and their continued commitment to supporting organisations to create caring and inclusive experiences for every child in sport and physical activity.

What this means for Active Cumbria:

• Our partnership with the NSPCC remains unchanged.
• We will continue using NSPCC Sport’s expert guidance and resources to shape our safeguarding policies and practices.
• Coaches, volunteers and clubs will still have access to the same trusted advice, tools and training.

You can explore NSPCC Sport's updated guidance and resources here: nspcc.org.uk/sport

You can contact them at sport@nspcc.org.uk

We look forward to continuing our work together to make sure that children and young
people engaged in physical activity and sport in Cumbria can thrive in a safe and supportive environment.
