Safe Sport Connect
A global professional community for people working to make sport safer.
Safe Sport Connect brings together the global safe sport community to connect, learn and share through a moderated, safeguarding-led space created by Safe Sport International.
Connect. Learn. Share.
Safe Sport Connect is a global professional community for people working to make sport safer.
Created by Safe Sport International, it brings together safeguarding leads, practitioners, researchers, advocates and sport organisations in a moderated space for connection, learning and knowledge-sharing.
Safe sport work can be complex, demanding and often isolating. Safe Sport Connect gives members a trusted place to stay connected with the wider safe sport community, keep learning beyond conferences and formal training, and strengthen safeguarding practice through shared knowledge, expert insight and peer connection.
A community for safer sport
Safe Sport Connect gives members a trusted place to follow safe sport updates, discover events, access learning, share opportunities and connect with others working across safeguarding in sport.
It supports the people and organisations helping to make sport safer, more inclusive and more accountable.
Whether you are new to safeguarding or carrying senior responsibility, Safe Sport Connect helps you stay part of the global safe sport conversation.
