Ann Craft Trust (ACT) is the UK agency for safeguarding Adults in Sport and has developed resources and training and can advise on protected and vulnerable adults. The ACT guidance documents are predominantly aligned to English legislation however the core messaging and instruction remains relevant in a Scottish context. Below are links to some SGB Protected Adult policies which take a rights based approached and broader view that all adults within sport should be safeguarded and that some adults are at greater risk than others.
