SG Hegensberg/Liebersbronn launches major child and youth protection concept!
In Stuttgart, SG Hegensberg/Liebersbronn and its parent clubs, TV Liebersbronn and TV Hegensberg, have launched a comprehensive child and youth protection concept. This initiative was recently announced during a celebration of the promotion of handball players to the major league, which took place in the sports hall on Römerstrasse. The joint efforts aim to strengthen young talent as a fundamental basis in the club departments and to raise awareness of child protection within sport. The focus of the new measures is on prevention in order to create a safe environment for all young athletes, reports Stuttgart News.
The child and youth protection concept goes beyond the basic pillars of the association's work. It is in line with the efforts of the Berlin State Sports Association, which actively campaigns against all forms of sexual, physical and psychological violence in sport. This association promotes a safe and cooperative atmosphere for both children and young people as well as adults and offers numerous further training and consulting opportunities in the area of child protection. He knows that the goal is to develop sports clubs into a safe place for their members Berlin State Sports Association.
Training offers and prevention measures
As part of the new concept, trainers and supervisors are to be sensitized through special training in dealing with border violations and violence. The State Sports Association offers regular seminars and monthly consultation hours via Microsoft Teams to provide information about child protection issues and to create a platform for exchange. These initiatives ensure that both volunteers and full-time employees in sport are well positioned, reports the Berlin State Sports Association.
In addition to prevention work, legal framework conditions are of great importance. In cooperation with experts, a legal opinion was drawn up that deals with the options for revoking licenses in the event of misconduct by license holders. These legal bases, which are provided by German sports youth should be further developed in accordance with the DOSB license training in order to ensure a comprehensive protection concept in sport.
The development of a task force to strategically analyze these approaches shows the serious commitment of those responsible for child protection in sport. It is planned to make important association policy decisions in dialogue with the member organizations in order to create long-term structures to protect children and young people in sport. The introduction of a child protection seal could also serve as a guide for parents and club members to promote safe and responsible sports environments.
