The Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU) works to help achieve the NSPCC mission to end child abuse. It is a partnership between the NSPCC, Sport England, Sport Northern Ireland and Sport Wales and specialises in minimising the risk of child abuse during sporting activity. 

The CPSU works with a range of organisations such as: 

• UK Sports Councils 
• National Governing Bodies (NGBs) 
• Active Partnerships (previously known as County Sports Partnerships)

You can find further information, resources and webinars at
thecpsu.org.uk. 

The NSPCC are the leading charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands. 

Alongside Swim England London’s own procedures for responding, reacting and reporting concerns about a child, we also promote the use of the NSPCC helpline. 

This helpline service is for adults concerned about a child. You can contact them by phone or online to get advice or to share your concerns about a child -anonymously if you wish. It’s staffed by professional practitioners with backgrounds in jobs like teaching, healthcare and social work, who know how to spot the signs of abuse and what to do to help. 

• Call: 0808 800 5000 (Monday to Friday 8am -10pm or weekends 9am-6pm) 
• E-mail: [email protected]
