As part of its commitment to education and training, GOGA in Fife organised its second UK Coaching Safeguarding and Protecting Children course of 2018 late in December at the Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre. In attendance were GOGA in Fife volunteers, peer mentor volunteers, coaches and parents who have now turned to coaching. Half the 15 delegates are involved with GOGA in Fife activities and the other half are associated with mainstream boxing, football, golf and swimming clubs. The safety of all learners is a priority for Disability Sport Fife and GOGA in Fife.
The tutor for this excellent inclusive learning opportunity was Heather Lowden of Scottish Disability Sport who had as always the skills and knowledge to present this very challenging subject matter to a diverse group of learners in a thought provoking manner. GOGA in Fife administrator Pamela Robson was present to support the GOGA in Fife peer mentor volunteers. GOGA in Fife is indebted to Heather for her continued support of the Fife programme. All Disability Sport Fife and GOGA in Fife coaches and leading volunteers have attended a Safeguarding and Protecting Children course within the last few months.
