We have focus: together for a safe sports environment
Every athlete deserves a place where fun, respect, and safety come first. In a socially safe sports environment, everyone feels welcome: members, parents, coaches, and volunteers. Clubs can use the 4 V’s of social safety to achieve this.
Policy is fine, but behavior is everything. With the ‘We have focus’ campaign, the seven collaborating municipalities in North and Central Limburg are joining forces to make a safe sports environment a reality. Using the 4 V’s and practical tools, every club can get started immediately, and it’s clear where the focus lies. This way, boards, coaches, parents, and athletes all follow the same approach, and it doesn’t stop at agreements on paper. ‘We have focus’ is a statement that shows what we stand for: a safe sports environment.
