SEMINAR | Trauma Informed Practices in Sport

Join us for a seminar on Trauma-Informed Practices in Sport, where we will explore the importance of applying trauma-informed practices into safeguarding and investigation process in the sport sector.  

Our speakers, Lydia Banerjee, barrister at Littleton Chambers and Mhairi Maclennan, GB long-distance runner and co-founder of Kyniska Advocacy, will focus on the importance of adopting a trauma-informed approach in areas such as policymaking, training for key stakeholders, and engaging individuals with lived experience of abuse. The seminar aims to deepen understanding of the impact of trauma and the steps and approaches to take to minimise the risk and potential for further harm. 

The seminar will take place on 13 February 2025, at Sport Resolutions’ offices in London, and will cover:

  • Fostering Safety and Empowerment: Explore how to create environments that prioritise emotional safety, trust, and empowerment for all involved in the investigative process.
  • Building Trauma-Informed Processes: Understand the key steps of an investigation, from initial notice to resolution, with a focus on fairness, transparency, and minimising harm to participants.
  • Centering the Survivor/Victim Voice: Learn how to involve survivors, victims and persons subject of the complaint meaningfully in disciplinary procedures, ensuring their needs, rights, and well-being are respected at every stage.

This seminar is essential for legal professionals, safeguarding specialists, sports executives, and anyone involved in safeguarding who may come into contact with victims. CPD members will earn 3 CPD points for attending. 

Please note that, due to the seminar involving group work among attendees, it will be held in-person only, and remote attendance will not be available. The event will conclude with a networking session, including drinks and snacks.
