Objectives of the Course In the Physical Education and Sport Child Protection course, in the context of the fundamental rights of the child, his/her right to rest, leisure, play, and to participate freely and fully in age-appropriate physical and cultural activities will be presented. The ways of providing appropriate and equal opportunities for children to access physical, sportive and cultural activities and events will be discussed. In order to establish the sports environment within the framework of these principles, interactive suggestions will be developed for the development of protection policies in sports and the creation of safe and inclusive sports areas. The risks and dangers that may be posed to children by certain practices that have become dominant and normalized in sports culture, which plays an important role in children's socialization processes, will be discussed. The effects of coercive and repressive qualities such as power, prestige, performance, power relations, achievement orientation that can harm children's well-being will be addressed. In addition to these qualities, the potential of these qualities to reveal the risks of violence and abuse against children due to the prevalence of physical relationships in sports will be emphasized. Thus, discussions will be held on ways to protect children from the culture of violence, which is taken for granted and normalized by athletes and their families as well as coaches, administrators and other professionals in sports.
