Currently, in Northern Ireland, there is no legislative requirement for safeguarding adults not deemed vulnerable or at risk.
However, safeguarding is a high priority for Sport Northern Ireland, and we want to ensure we are promoting and encouraging safe environments and excellent safeguarding culture to enable everyone to have a lifetime enjoyment of sport.
Sport NI have awarded Volunteer Now a contract to provide an Adult Safeguarding in Sport Service for the sports sector in Northern Ireland. Find out more about the service that is provided HERE.
Should anyone require advice or guidance in relation to an adult safeguarding concern, please contact:
