Time to Listen

Time to Listen is a netball-specific workshop designed to support Club Safeguarding Officers.  The workshop uses easy to follow, practical netball-related examples and case studies to enable you to fully understand your role in the club, and England Netball, and how you can effectively safeguard young people in your care. Time to Listen is developed by England Netball and the Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU) of the NSPCC.
