In this paper, the authors evaluate a global strategy to safeguard children against abuse in sport. The experiences of people within 32 of the organisations who were working towards the International Safeguards for Children in Sport were captured over a two-year study. At the organisational level, self-audits demonstrated that progress was made during the project by deliverers (who worked directly with children) from having 45% to 64% of the Safeguards fully in place. Governors (who governed other organisations which worked directly with children) improved on the same figure from 25% to 53%. Progress was also identified using the concept of Activation States through in-depth interviews at the start and end of the project. Positive changes were found at the personal level with respect to people’s feelings, knowledge and behaviours related to safeguarding as well as how safeguarding is discussed in the organisation. Group discussions also revealed changes with respect to how children, coaches, parents and the broader community were behaving with respect to safeguarding. An increase in the number of disclosures was also identified as an important impact of the project. The International Safeguards for Children in Sport are now endorsed by 125 organisations who work with a total of over 35 million children. The implications of these findings are discussed along with the future directions of work in this area.

在本文中，作者评估了一项保护儿童免受体育运动虐待的全球战略。一项为期两年的研究总结了32个组织中致力于国际儿童运动保障组织工作人员的经验。在组织层面，自我审核表明，项目交付者（直接与孩子们合作）在项目执行过程中取得了进展，从45％到64％的保障措施完全到位。州长（由谁来管理与儿童直接合作的其他组织）的比例从25％提高到53％。通过在项目开始和结束时进行深入访谈，还使用“激活国”的概念确定了进展。在个人层面上，人们的感受得到了积极的改变，与维护有关的知识和行为，以及组织中如何讨论维护。小组讨论还揭示了儿童，教练，父母和更广泛的社区在保障方面的行为方面的变化。披露数量的增加也被认为是该项目的重要影响。现在有125个组织批准了《国际儿童运动保障条例》，这些组织与3500万儿童一起工作。讨论了这些发现的含义以及该领域的未来工作方向。披露数量的增加也被认为是该项目的重要影响。现在有125个组织批准了《国际儿童运动保障条例》，这些组织与3500万儿童一起工作。讨论了这些发现的含义以及该领域的未来工作方向。披露数量的增加也被认为是该项目的重要影响。现在有125个组织批准了《国际儿童运动保障条例》，这些组织与3500万儿童一起工作。讨论了这些发现的含义以及该领域的未来工作方向。
