ACTIVE – Strengthening Policies in Sports and Leisure Activities focused on Children

An online self-assessment tool that helps sports and leisure clubs check how well they protect children, and where they fall short.

The problem

Sports and leisure clubs need child protection policies that work in practice, not only on paper. ACTIVE set out to help clubs find the gaps in how their policies are applied on their premises, and close them, so that children are safer.
