The benefits of sport and exercise for young people are widespread. However the risk of sustaining an injury has been identified as a barrier for young people to participate in regular physical activity.
Youthsafe works in partnership with individuals, clubs and organisations from across NSW to investigate the risks associated with sport, with the aim to reduce injury incidence and provide support, resources and training to help create safer sporting environments.
Youthsafe initiatives in sports safety include the development of SafeClub & a sustainable sports safety program for refugee communities in Greater Western Sydney.
