Research proposals are invited on the following:
Sexual violence in competitive youth sport: Prevalence, narratives and prevention initiatives
Sexual violence blights the lives of many people across Europe and beyond, and youth sport is sometimes the context in which it occurs. Simultaneously, sport is believed to be a vehicle through which society might combat sexual violence. A recent European Commission conference sought to shape the funding priorities of the EU Work Plan for Sport 2014-2020. The Commission identified the prevention of sexual violence in (and through) sport as a priority area within the Plan. With potential for collaboration throughout Europe, this studentship provides the successful applicant with an opportunity to undertake timely and much-needed work in a priority area of the European Union’s sport agenda.

Child protection and safeguarding in European sport: Policy and practice
In the UK, child protection in sport initiatives began in 2001. In many European countries this work is far less developed. A better understanding of the impact of child protection policy is much needed across all European countries and is a priority area of the European Commission’s 2014-2020 sport agenda. Working with our European partners, this position provides the successful candidate with an opportunity to map the current state of the field and conduct much-needed research on the implementation of child protection in sport policy and initiatives across Europe with a view to identifying and disseminating good practice in safeguarding and child protection in sport.
