Voices in Sport

News

Franky attended a conference last week which helps to raise awareness of some of the stories of abuse in Sport.

Franky said:

“Recently many of us attended a ‘Voices in Sport’ conference which shared survivor and lived experience of abuse within sport. The conference was very hard hitting and we heard about the incredible journeys of those that have suffered emotional, sexual and physical abuse whilst pursuing their dream of ‘being the best’.

“Sport England are emphasising the importance of hearing these voices to inform the necessary changes in sport environments for enhanced safety and well being. They shared a resource to support us all in implementing effective practice to combat abuse. nwgnetwork.org did an amazing job in developing these resources and they continue to offer support and training for all – much of it is free too!

“Take time to view the resources, via the QR code or their website https://nwgnetwork.org/voices-in-sport/#resources, they may just prevent someone else suffering the same horrific ordeal as others have in the past… Let’s take action now”
