I help out at my daughter's hockey club. Before I can attend a coaching course I have to pass an online course in child protection. Thursday night I paid up and sat down to the task.
I was cursing after 5 minutes and swearing after 10. A 100% pass mark is required to prove I had successfully absorbed the content. Not a problem in itself, except the last section, as I could spot the correct PC answers but the course was nothing more than indoctrination.
For example a 21 year coach is in a relationship with a 17 year old player, choose the 2 forms of abuse from a list of 5. Is it physical, emotional, sexual, neglect or bullying. How about none of the above?
What sort of mind sees abuse around every corner? How can the Big Society function with this crap?
Of course it was indoctrination and had SFA to do with protection of your child.
