Safeguarding and Protecting Children

The workshop is a ‘Minimum Standard for Active Coaches' requirement for many governing
bodies of sport. It constitutes part of the basic standards a coach needs to be able to carry out
their role safely and e ectively. It can also be delivered to all those responsible for organising
children’s sport (eg within governing bodies of sport, local authorities, sports and leisure
centres, and sports clubs) and those who lead or deliver children’s sport programmes (eg
coaches, leaders, instructors, development o cials, administrators, volunteers and parents),
an estimated 76% of whom undertake these roles on a voluntary basis.

What Coaches Will Learn:

• To identify and recognise good coaching practice and the implications for your
coaching.

• To explore their own values and feelings in relation to child abuse and appreciate how
these may potentially impact on their response.

• To recognise possible signs of child abuse.

• How to take appropriate action if concerns about a child arise.

Behaviour Change

Behaviour change is a series of small steps that people take over time as part of a journey. The
goal of that journey may be to reverse unhealthy patterns of behaviour, such as an inactive
lifestyle. Behaviour change techniques have been proven to be successful in other social areas
too, such as stopping smoking and losing weight by implementing a healthier diet. By taking
this workshop, delegates will be able to provide their participants with the tools and the
incentive to create lasting change in their lives.

What Will They Learn:

• How to use EAST (Easy, Attractive, Social, Timely) as a simple framework for achieving
behaviour change.

• Master simple strategies that can in uence behaviour and ensure participants keep
coming back to sessions and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

• Identify the individual needs, motivations and goals of participants, and how to tailor
content to suit them.

Duration: 3 Hours (refreshments provided)
Cost: £30

Learning Disabilities and Personal Training

Personal Trainers and Fitness Coaches are an integral part of the leisure industry who can
make a client’s experience great or not so great. That’s why it is so important that they
have the knowledge and expertise to coach and interact with a huge range of clients –
including the large proportion of people in the UK who have a learning disability and are
currently inactive. Inclusion in the tness industry is increasingly more important and this
workshop will help delegates develop new insight and approaches to extending their
client base and increase potential for working in new markets. People with disabilities can
use their Personal Budgets to engage in sport and physical activity, we’ll aim to show
delegates ways of unlocking this.

Learning Objectives:

• What is a Learning Disability – facts, gures and myth busting

• What are reasonable adjustments?

• To be able to con dently communicate inclusively before, during and after training

• To be able to identify ways in which you can make your behaviours and delivery style
more inclusive

• To evaluate the importance of developing a specialist role across the Fitness Industry
