Child safety workshops to be hosted for NSW local sporting organisations

Child safety workshops to be hosted for NSW local sporting organisations
March 12, 2025

The NSW Office of Sport has partnered with the Office of the Children’s Guardian to deliver a series of interactive child safety workshops on the NSW South Coast next week to help local sporting organisations keep children safe from harm and abuse in sport.

The workshops will provide practical information on the simple steps sports clubs can take to protect children.

The workshops will be held at Batemans Bay, Moruya, Narooma, Pambula and Bega from 16th – 20th March and will be delivered by Matt Sibley, Child Safe Officer (Sport) from the Office of the Children’s Guardian.

Office of Sport Acting Chief Executive Adam Berry noted “Sport brings communities together, especially in regional NSW, and we want to ensure that everyone who participates is safe.

“The workshops will outline common risks to children in community sport and ways to avoid placing participants in risky situations.

“The workshops will be invaluable to sporting organisations, helping them to better identify and manage child safety risks and ensure that sport in the region is a positive experience for everyone.

“We look forward to working with representatives from South Coast sporting organisations at these workshops.”
