Pillars to facilitate the successful implementation of sport safeguards
| Pillar | Description |
|---|---|
| Cultural sensitivity | The safeguards need to be tailored to the cultural and social norms of the context |
| Holistic | Safeguarding should be viewed as integrated into all aspects of an organisation as opposed to being an additional element |
| Incentives | There needs to be a clear reason for individuals and an organisation to work towards the safeguards |
| Leadership | The safeguards need to have strong support from those working in key leadership roles |
| Dynamic | Safeguarding systems need to be continually reviewed and adapted to maintain their relevance and effectiveness |
| Resources | The implementation of the safeguards needs to be supported by appropriate resources (eg, human, time and financial) |
| Engaging stakeholders | A democratic approach should be adopted which invites and listens to the voices of those in and around the sport (eg, parents, coaches, community leaders) |
| Networks | An organisation's progress towards the safeguards will be strengthened by developing networks with other organisations |
