The Home Secretary and the Secretary of State for DCMS also jointly chaired a meeting in December 2016 with a number of national governing bodies and other key sports organisations, Sport England, the police and the NSPCC’s Child Protection in Sport Unit to consider how safeguarding in sport can be as robust as possible. We plan to reconvene this group in the New Year to discuss the progress made since the original meeting.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Since April 2017, organisations in receipt of public funding from Sport England and UK Sport are required to meet the standards set out in the Code for Sports Governance. The Code contains specific obligations about safeguarding, including a requirement for national governing bodies to adhere to the Standards for Safeguarding and Protecting Children in Sport, which are issued by the NSPCC’s Child Protection in Sport Unit. Sport England have also ensured that all new award agreements have the relevant terms in place to ensure good child protection policies and procedures are used by the applicants. In addition, every organisation that received a grant from Sport England in the last five years has been reminded of its obligations on child protection and the relevant provisions in its funding contract.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is currently considering the recommendations made by Baroness Grey-Thompson’s Duty of Care review, which included a specific chapter on safeguarding. Proposals are being developed to extend the definition of a ‘position of trust’ in the Sexual Offences Act to include sports coaches.
