Lincolnshire Sports Partnership 
The welfare and well-being of all participants whatever their race, religion, sex, class, sexual orientation, age, disability or special need is a key concern of Lincolnshire Sports Partnership. The information contained in this section is designed to minimise risks and maximise enjoyment and is relevant to all those taking part but particularly those groups who are most vulnerable.
Each week more than 8 million children in the UK take part in sport. They do so in a range of situations, from local groups to national competitions. But while most enjoy themselves in safety, a small number are at risk of abuse from individuals who choose sports work to gain access to children.
Lincolnshire Sports Partnership recognises the need to protect children from individuals who may abuse positions of trust and is committed to safeguarding the health and well-being of all young people playing our sport. In your work as a sports volunteer, there are a number of steps you can take to help safeguard children, young people and other vulnerable individuals. You can also play an important role in protecting children who may be experiencing abuse in other areas of their lives.
