Following a survey of sports clubs, Aberdeenshire Council’s Sport and Physical Activity Service will be providing two new workshops giving them access to support on child protection policies and funding streams.
Bookings are now being taken for the free workshops.
The first, In Safe Hands, is a workshop supporting clubs to put child protection policies into practice and is essential for those acting as clubs’ child protection officers but is also relevant for those managing or organising the club.
The sessions, which all start at 6.30pm and will last three hours, will take place at:
• Westhill Academy on Wednesday, 30 August
• Fraserburgh Development Trust on Monday, 4 September
• Mackie Academy, Stonehaven, on Tuesday, 12 September.
The second workshop will involve presentations from the council, sportscotland and the Federation of Rural Partnerships and will give clubs the chance to learn about the latest funding opportunities and receive tips on how to apply.
The funding workshops, which all start at 7pm and will last for 2 1/2 hours, will take place at:
• Fraserburgh Academy on Monday, 25 September
• Hillside Primary School in Portlethen on Tuesday, 3 October
• Inverurie Academy on Thursday, 12 October.
