Show detailsWe support clubs, federations and any other sports organisation, in Belgium and internationally, in offering their members a safe, welcoming and respectful environment: preventing the risk of abuse, responding appropriately when a situation arises, and embedding these practices for the long term. This expertise was built in the field, as safeguarding officer within a national federation, where we built a complete safeguarding programme, and through FIFA Guardians, UEFA and ADEPS training.
Six building blocks, in the order in which they best protect your members. Each one relies on a tool that you will find freely available on this site.
✓ Assess
The free self-assessment and a personalised report: where your organisation stands, and where to start.
✓ Write
The safeguarding policy, validated by your board, with its definitions, principles and appendices.
✓ Respond
An identified reporting point, a form and a written procedure: who decides, who is informed, within what timeframe.
✓ Frame
Signed codes of conduct, safer recruitment and criminal record extract, rules for changing rooms, travel and images.
✓ Train
Awareness-raising for leaders, training for coaches and volunteers, train-the-trainer sessions for larger organisations.
✓ Follow up
A risk assessment every year, an action plan and progress reports to improve season after season.
Clubs are on the front line when it comes to preventing inappropriate behaviour and abuse in sport, responding to concerns and promoting a safe, welcoming and respectful environment.
Actitude 360 supports clubs with concrete, simple solutions adapted to their reality on the ground. Every support programme starts with the self-assessment: its report tells us where the club stands and where to start. Each level then builds on the previous one and adds work on our side. The price follows the same logic: it increases with the number of days we devote to your club.
4 levels of support
Autonomous club
Free · no intervention on our sideThe club takes stock with the online self-assessment. It receives a personalised report presenting its strengths, its priorities and three concrete actions. It then moves forward on its own, with the Word templates and the articles on this site.The club knows where it stands and where to start.
Aware club
2 to 3 days on our sideWe start from the self-assessment report and discuss it with the club leaders for half a day, to lay the foundations and set priorities. We then write the club's safeguarding policy from our template. We set up the reporting point and the codes of conduct, which coaches and athletes sign.The club leaves with validated documents and an identified designated person.
Structured club
5 to 7 days on our sideThis level includes everything in the Aware level: the self-assessment, the half day with the leaders and the basic documents. The self-assessment report helps us adapt what follows to the club's real needs. We train coaches and volunteers. We set up the safer recruitment procedure and the risk assessment. We write the rules for changing rooms, travel and images. We finish with an action plan for the season.The club has a complete framework and trained people to keep it alive.
Reference club
One season · about 1 day per monthThis level includes everything in the Structured level. The initial self-assessment becomes our point of comparison: we repeat it at the end of the season to measure the progress made. In between, we support the club over time: we write progress reports every quarter, we train internal trainers, we run a visibility campaign, and we involve parents and young people.The club becomes a reference for the other clubs in its region.
For federations and leagues: we design a complete programme with you, from the safeguarding policy to the toolkit for your clubs, including train-the-trainer sessions, the reporting point and a visibility campaign. We have done it at the scale of a national federation; we tell the story here. To see where your federation stands, start with the federation self-assessment, free and confidential.
For academies, training centres, regional leagues, groups of clubs and event organisers: we adapt the approach to your structure, from the state of play to implementation. For your events, see our role as Safeguarding Officer.
Tailored approach
After an initial conversation, we analyse your needs and build support that fits your objectives, your resources and your context. Our role is to provide strategic and operational backing: structuring the approach, coordinating actions and supporting your teams over time.
Our templates, articles and self-assessment are freely available: discover the resource centre.
We support sports organisations and public bodies in defining their strategies and action plans for sustainability, social responsibility, or sport for development.

Sustainability Officer and / or Safeguarding Officer, at your side before, during and after your event.
Show detailsIn just a few days, a sports event concentrates everything an organisation has to take on in terms of social responsibility: the environmental footprint of travel, materials and catering, the safety and well-being of participants and the public, accessibility and inclusion, and the ability to report on all of this to its federation, its partners and the public authorities. We take this on at your side, as Sustainability Officer, as Safeguarding Officer, or both, from preparation to the final report.

To see what this looks like at an international tournament: our field report from the 2023 Women's Under-19 EURO — a grid of 48 indicators, assessment in four stadiums, carbon footprint and recommendations.
This role has its own specific features, and it should not be confused with event security: security manages order and incidents, safeguarding looks after the well-being and protection of people, in particular minors and vulnerable adults.
