Most social skateboarding projects work with children, so here at the Goodpush Alliance we've been working hard to create some practical tools to help skateboarding projects make their programming as safe as possible. Check out our four latest Child Protection resources below:
 

1. Child Protection Quick Guide

This short, 3-page overview covers all the essentials of Child Protection for your social skate project. It's a great place to get started if you're new to the topic. View the Quick Guide here. 

2. Child Protection Webinar 

The recording of Goodpush's first Webinar is now available! Get an introduction to Child Protection for social skate projects from Skateistan's Child Protection Manager, Imran Khan, and Goodpush Program Manager, Rhianon Bader. 

3. Child Protection Policy Template (free!)

One of the core elements of keeping children safe is to have a strong Child Protection Policy (CPP) that all of your staff and volunteers know and use. We just launched a new CPP template designed especially for projects using skateboarding for youth development, which you can adapt and use for your own initiative! Download it here!

4. Online Quiz for Social Skate Projects
