Coaches undergoing training in the Greater Accra Region during the Free License D Coaching Course have received Safeguarding Training as part of their course.
It was another important step taken in promoting child protection in grassroots football by delivering the safeguarding training to the coaches undertaking the Licence D Coaching Course in the region.
During the session, led by our Safeguarding Officer, Obed Tuffour, the coaches were equipped with practical tools to protect young players from harm and exploitation.
Emphasis was placed on building boundaries between adults and children, creating safe environments, and recognising early warning signs of abuse.
Coaches were also introduced to reporting mechanisms that allow concerns to be raised swiftly and responsibly.
Participants welcomed the training as necessary, given the unique challenges faced by grassroots football in the capital, Accra. Many promised to carry the lessons to their clubs and districts, helping to build a culture of safety across the Accra.
