Abstract

Child Safety in school sport requires the vigilant application of appropriate practices in order to ensure the safe operation of sport in schools and to fulfill legal requirements. These legal obligations can arise from legislation and the common law, and operate at various levels, namely education department, the school itself and the teachers. These safety obligations include the legislative requirement that those involved with children must have a blue card. It is also important that schools have appropriate complaints procedure in regard to such matters as bullying, harassment and sexual abuse. There is also a duty of care owed by those involved with school sport to implement preventative measures to manage the risks of children suffering injury while playing sport.
