#90: How we can keep kids safe in sport, with Safeguarding You founder Adam Wood
The recent inclusion of risk management into sports and recreation clubs can be challenging for organisations to manage. Founder of Safeguarding You, Adam Wood, created a platform where what once was daunting, is now made much easier. The program provides users with a simple assessment to understand their risks, then actionable advice is delivered to lower the risk percentage. Wood has been heavily involved with his own children’s sporting clubs, and understands the difficulty in navigating the need to report and adapt to issues that arise. An area of great interest currently is concussion within the AFL, particularly exploring the trend of under-reporting, and the risks associated with trying to get back on the field. Safeguarding You is constantly evolving, creating new technology to allow teams and groups to monitor what they’ve done in the past, and prepare for their future.
