What training is required for our stakeholders?
With the required policies in place, training all stakeholders is the next step in establishing a safe sport environment. It is critical that everyone understand their role in creating safe and thriving sport environments. Here you will find a list of required minimum training for all stakeholders.
Based on the Screening and Training Matrix completed in the policy implementation, your organization will understand the minimum training requirements for each stakeholder group. Training promotes prevention and ongoing monitoring/intervention for continuous improvement while ensuring the requirements are sustainable.
