This report offers a clear overview of child protection policies in sport, combining legal analysis, scientific evidence and insights from practice.

• The first volume provides an extensive mapping of international and national legislation and legal frameworks, with a specific focus on Spain, Bulgaria and Italy. It also examines relevant European Union directives, policy references and sectoral guidance issued by sport bodies, child protection organisations and ombudspersons. In addition, this volume reviews scientific evidence related to the different safeguarding dimensions and incorporates an equity lens, including gender, disability, socioeconomic vulnerability and other factors that may increase children’s exposure to violence or barriers to protection. This evidence aims to support the development of an informed and robust 360 Safe Play model.
• The second volume focuses on a review of best practices from sport associations, clubs and federations. Because theory alone is not enough, this section brings together concrete and transferable solutions from leading international clubs and federations, as well as grassroots sport organisations. It highlights inspiring practices from the project’s partner countries and from wider desk research. These practices will be presented and discussed within the consortium through a dedicated webinar, with the aim of identifying key lessons and practical conclusions that can further nurture the 360 Safe Play model.
• Finally, the third volume synthesises the evidence collected in the first two volumes. It brings together the main learning generated during this initial phase of the project and identifies the remaining gaps that need to be addressed during the co-creation sessions. This synthesis will help guide the next steps of the project and support the development of the beta version of the materials and tools required to implement the 360 Safe Play model.
