Sport, Human Rights and Safeguarding Research Group

The Sport, Human Rights and Safeguarding Research Group is committed to conducting high quality, values-led research to improve health, wellbeing, and welfare for those working and participating in sport. We believe that for sport to reach its potential as an enabler of sustainable development, research is needed that fundamentally respects and promotes human rights for all. Our interdisciplinary, translational research aims to address this global challenge by bridging basic, applied and social science, as well as policy, that fosters those in sport to participate in a safe environment free from abuse, neglect and violence.
