Under NGB policies, which topic provides safeguarding guidance?

• A. Anti-doping policies
• B. Promoting etiquette and fair play
• C. Community programmes
• D. Information and guidance on safeguarding

Answer: (D)

Safeguarding is about protecting people, especially those more vulnerable, from harm in sport and ensuring their welfare is looked after. Under NGB policies, information and guidance on safeguarding is the part that sets out how to recognise concerns, how to report them, and how to create safe environments for everyone involved. That focus on protecting participants and providing practical procedures is why this option is the best fit for safeguarding guidance. The other topics cover different areas: anti-doping policies deal with substance use and rules about drugs, promoting etiquette and fair play focuses on behaviour and fair competition, and community programmes look at getting people involved in sport.None of those specifically provides the safeguarding guidance that explains protections, reporting, and safeguarding procedures.
