Contact details

We're always pleased to respond to enquiries or provide advice around safeguarding children in sport.

NSPCC Sport doesn't investigate, or review cases and we have no regulatory power over clubs or sports governing bodies. We have a duty to report any concerns of wellbeing of a child to the NSPCC helpline who will share this with relevant statutory agencies. 

If you’re worried about a child, even if you’re unsure, you can contact the free NSPCC Helpline service. If you think a child is in immediate danger, please call the police on 999 straight away.
