Scottish Swimming Volunteer Seminar

The very first Scottish Swimming Volunteer Seminar was held in Perth on the 29th August.  The topic this year was Child Protection due to the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Act and the upcoming changes in the disclosure process.  Speakers from the Central Registered Body in Scotland and Children 1st Child Protection in Sport Unit delivered sessions on the PVG Act, and scenario testing respectively.  Both sessions were given positive feedback, however the scenario testing session proved extremely useful as it looked at case studies regarding mobile phone usage which linked directly to recent issues portrayed in the news regarding ‘sexts’, and an increase in ‘prank’ usage of mobile phones in club settings.
