As a global network of experts we call for change in sport systems around the world and greater collaboration between sport stakeholders, public authorities, and civil society organisations to increase safeguarding capacity and provide context specific approaches to safeguarding. Please join with us to help make ‘everyone, everywhere safe in sport’ a reality.”
