Coaches
- The Safe Sport Allies team has developed discussion cards for coaches. These contain questions that invite them to share their own good experiences. The cards also encourage them to discuss incidents where they were less aware of what they could do. For example, you can choose to use one discussion card during a coach meeting and exchange experiences with each other for 15 minutes. Through these conversations, coaches discover how they can create a safe environment within their group. By hearing real-life stories from respected colleagues, they can come to insights together and discuss the topic.
- Besides the discussion cards, a poster has also been developed that lists ‘correct’ responses to incidents and shows a roadmap on how to respond to incidents.
- In order to practice recognizing situations of harassment and abuse, Safe Sport Allies has developed a 90-minute workshop. You can organize the workshop in your club or have it facilitated by a trained trainer from Sportieq (BE) or De Stilte Verbroken (NL).
Sport participants
- The Safe Sport Allies team has developed discussion cards for sport participants. Coaches can work with an assignment during a practice session to engage conversations with sport participants about boundaries. By keeping sport participants moving, asking questions and having them discuss and practice with each other, we encourage them to integrate the information they receive into their daily behaviors. In this way, you help sport participants internalize the knowledge and show your sport participants that you value their safety and integrity.
- A handy poster explains that sport participants have control over their own bodies and that boundaries should be respected. Hang these up in your sport club to inform your sport participants about this.
