About this Event
Please note this session will contain details of extreme child sexual abuse and may contain triggers. There will be a dedicated space on the evening should the content become too overwhelming.
Join Alan Arber and The Offside Trust on Thurdsay 13th February 2025 to hear firsthand his harrowing personal story of sexual abuse in sport. This workshop will cover key areas to identifying abuse, dealing with concerns and improving confidence in reporting procedures.
This event will be the launch of HSP's Coach Education Week 2025. The theme for this years programme is safeguarding and welfare which is highly topical given the recent Sport England investment into a national network of Sport Welfare Officers.
The Offside Trust is an organisation founded and run by survivors of child sexual abuse in sport, established as an independent body to work alongside clubs, organisations and other charitable bodies to futher enhance safeguarding at all levels of sport. The key aims of the trust are to raise awareness of the importance of safeguarding across all sport at all levels, to provide survivors with advice, guidance and resources to aid the healing journey and to campaign for legal and regulatory changes to improve safeguarding within sport.
Alan has stated that The Offside Trust have been hugely supportive and helpful and given him the strength to deal with what happened to him.
