This workshop is free for ClubSport Lewis and Harris members to attend but to encourage attendance and try and ensure a good turnout to benefit all delegates, we will charge a non-attendance fee of £30.00 per delegate. By submitting a booking for this workshop, you agree to pay this fee for those delegates who have places booked but do not attend.

This training will provide you with the knowledge on Child Wellbeing and Child Protection that will give you the confidence to deal with issues that may arise in your role working with children. This training also reflects the Standards for Child Wellbeing and Protection in Sport. There are 2 parts to the training. The eLearning module (module 1) introduces you to the basic theory, knowledge and practice which underpin child wellbeing and protection in sport. This module will help you to prepare for module 2 which is a 3-hour virtual training course lead by one of sportscotland’s approved tutors. The main change from the previous training SPC, is that each learner MUST complete Module 1 before attending module 2. The CWPS eLearning module 1, learners will receive login details for brightspace (sportscotland’s virtual learning platform) via email from d2lsupport@learninginsport.brightspace.com

It is important to book a place on the workshop that coaches/volunteers must complete the attached booking for and return it to myself no later than 2 weeks before the workshop takes place. This will allow brightspace to email you out the information you require for module 1.
