Abu Dhabi Introduces Child Protection Policy in Sports Sector
Abu Dhabi has taken a big step towards protecting young athletes. The emirate has launched a new child protection policy aimed at ensuring the sports sector is safe, secure, and welcoming for all children. This move reflects Abu Dhabi’s strong commitment to child welfare and safety in every space, especially sports.
Clear Guidelines for All Sports Institutions
The newly launched child protection policy sets clear rules for all sports clubs, academies, and training centres in Abu Dhabi. These guidelines help staff and coaches understand how to protect children during training, travel, and competitions. Every sports organisation is now required to follow these safety rules and train their staff to spot and report any signs of abuse or neglect.

Focus on Awareness and Prevention
One of the main goals of the child protection policy is to raise awareness. Coaches, staff, and even parents will receive training on how to prevent harm and deal with incidents properly. The idea is to build a culture where safety comes first, and children feel confident and supported in their sporting journey.
Zero Tolerance for Harm or Abuse
Abu Dhabi’s sports authorities have made it clear—there will be zero tolerance for any kind of abuse or mistreatment in the sports sector. They have set up a clear system for reporting and investigating complaints. This system ensures quick and fair action if a child’s safety is ever at risk.
Promoting Inclusive and Positive Sports Experiences
Alongside safety, the new policy promotes inclusion and equality. The aim is to create a sports environment where all children, no matter their background or ability, are treated fairly and given equal opportunities to thrive.
A Big Step for Abu Dhabi’s Youth
This new initiative marks an important milestone for Abu Dhabi. By introducing a child protection policy in the sports sector, the emirate is setting a strong example for others. It sends a clear message: sports should be a space of joy, growth, and safety for every child.
