ABSTRACT

This paper aims to extend the small but growing body of global literature on the topic of child safeguarding (CSG) policy in sport and related educational contexts. The authors, all male coaches/educators, offer ‘snapshots’ of the moments in time they each realised their previously unquestioned practices must change in light of shifting societal attitudes to CSG and resulting legislation. Our contributions in this space are two-fold. Firstly, we present an autoethnographic methodology that provides a lens into the challenges confronting pedagogues in sport and related educational contexts. Through this methodology, we broaden the scope of discourse that we deem necessary for future CSG policy direction and operationalisation. Secondly, we explore and include an addition to the dominant ‘duality (dichotomy) of danger’ narrative discourse currently reflected in the literature. We do this by proposing a trichotomy of danger framework for leaders and managers of sport and related educational contexts to consider when plotting this future landscape. Research surrounding the possible implications of CSG policy on practice is critical if educators are to navigate the ‘risks’ of their professions. Although there is a small and emerging body of research on this topic, we, the authors seek to redress the scarcity of research observable in the Aotearoa New Zealand context.

摘要

本文旨在扩展关于体育和相关教育环境中儿童保护 (CSG) 政策主题的全球文献规模虽小但不断增长。作者，所有男性教练/教育者，提供了他们每个人都意识到他们以前毫无疑问的做法必须根据社会对 CSG 的态度转变和由此产生的立法而改变的时刻的“快照”。我们在这个领域的贡献是双重的。首先，我们提出了一种自我民族志方法论，它提供了一个视角来了解教育者在体育和相关教育环境中面临的挑战。通过这种方法，我们拓宽了我们认为对未来 CSG 政策方向和实施必要的讨论范围。第二，我们探索并增加了目前在文学中反映的占主导地位的“危险的二元性（二分法）”叙事话语。为此，我们提出了一个危险的三分法框架，供体育和相关教育环境的领导者和管理者在规划未来前景时考虑。如果教育工作者要驾驭其职业的“风险”，围绕 CSG 政策对实践可能产生的影响进行研究至关重要。尽管关于这个主题的研究规模很小，而且正在兴起，但我们，作者们试图弥补在新西兰奥特阿罗亚背景下可观察到的研究的稀缺性。如果教育工作者要驾驭其职业的“风险”，围绕 CSG 政策对实践可能产生的影响进行研究至关重要。尽管关于这个主题的研究规模很小，而且正在兴起，但我们，作者们试图弥补在新西兰奥特阿罗亚背景下可观察到的研究的稀缺性。如果教育工作者要驾驭其职业的“风险”，围绕 CSG 政策对实践可能产生的影响进行研究至关重要。尽管关于这个主题的研究规模很小，而且正在兴起，但我们，作者们试图弥补在新西兰奥特阿罗亚背景下可观察到的研究的稀缺性。
