New whistleblowing advice line for professionals An advice line for anyone concerned about how workplace child protection issues are being handled has been created by the NSPCC. They have launched a whistleblowing helpline to provide free advice and support to professionals wanting to raise concerns about how child protection issues are being handled in their own or other organisations. The advice line was commissioned by the Home Office as a firm commitment made by Government in its response to failures to protect children from sexual exploitation in Rotherham and the Government's subsequent Tackling Child Sexual Exploitation report.

DCMS Strategy The Department for Culture Media and Sport released ‘Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation’ in December and coaching featured heavily in the document. Coaching was a recurrent theme, with many calling for greater collaboration between agencies, greater levels of support for coaches at all levels and improved access to information. One of the most frequent requests was for more emphasis on “soft skills” as well as technical skills. Sport England will develop a new coaching plan by early 2016 that will focus on: revising entry level coaching qualifications so they include a strong focus on behaviour and attitudes rather than purely technical skills making coaching more accessible to a wider range of people making coaching qualifications more adaptable so entry level coaches can easily teach a range of sports and physical activity expanding and diversifying what we mean by ‘coach’, exploring new opportunities such as digital to reach new audiences and engage people in different ways View the full document here

Crowd Funding In association with Podium Partners, Energize want to help local young and disabled people to develop their potential and to be able to support clubs looking for new equipment or facilities.
Energize offer the opportunity for the local community sports organisations and athletes to promote their campaign on the crowdfunding website, enabling them to raise funds by bringing their project to the attention of the wider public and businesses.
Energize are now welcoming applications to register campaigns on the site from local athletes aged up to 25, disabled athletes of any age, or projects looking to help either of these two groups. The site will go live with all campaigns in January when it officially launches to the public.

Chris Child, Chief Executive of Energize says “It’s a great new initiative and we have already had a really positive response from people who want to register their campaigns on the site. We would like to have a wide variety of campaigns, from a wide range of sports, ready to go live on the site ready for the main public launch in January and would encourage people to apply to register now.”

Reach Campaign Reach has been created to raise awareness and inspire more women to get into coaching as well as encourage current women coaches to develop their skills further. Targeting women of all ages and backgrounds Reach reinforces the messages that coaching keeps you active, can be a sociable activity and is a way of giving back to your community and sport. All this whilst being a role model to encourage others into sport. The campaign has been created because women are currently under-represented in coaching. Research has shown that women do want to coach, providing the environment is right. However, sport is still regarded as a gendered activity which strongly favours men. Join the campaign, find information and tips on how you can get involved by visiting www.reachintocoaching.co.uk. Also follow on Twitter- @ReachCoaches If you are inspired by Reach, Energize are currently running a programme called Women Make Coaching offering one to one tailored support to new and existing coaches along their coaching journey. Please visit the Women Make Coaching page to find to out more!

Inspiring Positive Behaviour in Sport Pick up vital skills and confidence to encourage better behaviour Is lateness an issue with the participants you coach? Or perhaps you have someone who’s constantly distracting others, and their behaviour is becoming a challenge. There will always be times when the behaviour of participants makes demands on your coaching skills, and this can have a negative impact on your coaching session. The ‘Inspiring Positive Behaviour in Sport’ eLearning module helps you develop your skills in managing disruptive behaviour. It will also challenge you to think about what you deem acceptable behaviour from your participants. Who is it for? This course is the perfect continuing personal development (CPD) opportunity for UKCC Level 1 and 2 coaches, activators, leaders and College Sport Makers. To access the training, follow this link

Coaching Panel Survey Sports Coach UK have launched their annual survey of coaches – The Coaching Panel. This plays an important role in their work as it is the feedback mechanism by which coaches can tell them how they are doing. Think of it as a health check on the coaching community. We would encourage you to take the survey and share it with anyone you know who coaches. Some of the trends picked up by conducting these annual surveys include: Fewer young people are coming into coaching and this is putting more pressure on existing and older coaches. More people entering coaching looking for a career in coaching, but are the jobs there? The more time people spend coaching the less supported they feel Higher qualified coaches feel less supported than others There is strong culture of continuous improvement within coaching.
