I AM pleased that the NSPCC is campaigning for improved child protection in sport with the support of Commonwealth Games gold medallist Sharron Davies.

Any parent or carer whose child is involved in sport wants to know that his or her child is safe from harm when in the care of someone else.

So, I believe it essential parents and carers know the questions they need to ask sports organisations to safeguard their children.

I hope that your readers will show their support for ending child abuse in sport by logging on to www.kickitintotouch.com and reading the child protection messages, so they know what to be aware of, what action to take and who to contact if they have any concerns.

JAMES MASTERMAN (Mr), Stubbins Lane, Sabden.
