Child Wellbeing and Protection in Sport (CWPS) is a training course developed in partnership with Children 1st that is suitable for people (+16 years old) who are involved in sports organisations that have under 18 participants. It is targeted at all practitioners e.g. all coaches and volunteers working and volunteering directly with children and young people. It is recommended that all Coaches and Volunteers receive this training and renew their knowledge every 3 years.
Self register for the renewal award
Is your CWPS certificate about to expire? If yes, then you are eligible for Renewal award. If no, then wait until it is about to expire and then start the renewal process. You can check your certificate for the expiry date or check with your SGB.
sportscotland is offering coaches and volunteers (the learner) the opportunity to advance their learning in CWPS, by giving access to renewal modules in various topics. Instead of just repeating CWPS training after 3 years (i.e completing module 1 & 2), the learner can renew their certificate for another 3 years by completing a series of eLearning. This learning is then valid for another 3 years and it is only then that the learner must complete the whole CWPS training again.
To achieve the Renewal award, learners must complete Module 1 of CWPS plus two other modules of their choice. This equates to approximately 3 hours of learning and should be completed within 3 months of their CWPS training expiring. Then in 3 years’ time after completing the renewal award, learners must then again complete both module 1 and 2 of a CWPS course.
The topics covered in the renewal award are:
