Intro

Being online is part of sporting life

For athletes, it's a great way to communicate, connect and develop your profile and reputation. However, having a public profile in sport can increase the risk of online abuse. Athletes across all sports,from local to international level, can be targeted. If you're an emerging or elite athlete, it's important to be prepared.

This one-hour presentation will provide guidance on:

  • types of online abuse
  • the impacts of online abuse
  • setting up social media accounts with safety in mind
  • proactive actions and de-escalation strategies
  • how to report abuse
  • support services and free resources.

The webinar is suitable for:

  • elite, state, national and pathway athletes over 18 years of age
  • those involved in supporting athletes, such as coaching, development, integrity, wellbeing and other staff and volunteers.
