International law firm Bird & Bird supports Safe Sport International's (SSI) Conference 2022, the world's leading body in this area.
The conference, this year called 'Safeguarding: Knowledge to Practice', brings together the worldwide safeguarding community of athletes, advocates, and allies to address research, evidence, policy responses and preventative strategies. The focus will be on safe sport practice and how to secure sport as a place of safety for all athletes.
Anne Tiivas OBE, chair of SSI, said "The support from Bird & Bird LLP has been essential to the continued work of Safe Sport International in connecting the world of safeguarding worldwide. The impact and importance of the Athlete Voice has been more evident this year than ever, with particular focus on mental health, and protecting athletes against violence of all types. Bird & Bird LLP's continue work as a leading firm specialising in all things sports is an important part of the work that SSI continues to build on for the future."
Richard Bush, partner at Bird & Bird, said "We are delighted to partner with SSI for a second consecutive year to support 'Safeguarding: Knowledge to Practice'. We know from our own work that an effective approach to safeguarding requires the input and understanding of a range of stakeholders with a variety of experiences. This year, we look forward to listening to and learning from others in the international safeguarding community and also bringing our legal knowledge and experience to the table".
