Safeguarding online course mandate for FIG-registered coaches

Published Mon 23 Oct 2023

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) is happy to announce that the Safeguarding Online Course is now available on the eLearning Platform. As approved by the Executive Committee in March 2023, the purpose of this course is to provide all coaches with a Safeguarding Certificate and therefore give them the tools they need to ensure a safe environment in Gymnastics.

This course is mandatory for all coaches registered in the FIG Coach – Sport Database, and that the deadline to comply with this requirement is 1 December 2023. After this date, coaches who did not comply will see their registration pending until they obtain a Safeguarding Certificate. The guidelines are available here.

Should any FIG-accredited coach have any questions, please do not hesitate to write to coachsport@fig.sport.
