The CPSU developed a range of new resources for their 2021 campaign which aimed to fill the gap in parents knowledge. These new resources included:

• a new animation for parents on what abuse might look like in sport and how to get help
• a short, interactive e-learning course for parents on how to keep children safe
• a new look parents' hub on the CPSU website, which parents can use as a one-stop-shop for safeguarding information

We now have a dedicated page on the Start Now Cornwall and #Connect website aimed at young people. We aim to update it regularly with suitable content for young people to access. 
We currently have information on a young person's rights to have fun and stay safe in sport, plus a chance for them to have their say on what they would like to see in next year's School Games and Commonweath Legacy for Cornwall.
