The session saw the participation of 17 SOs and aimed to address challenges, questions, or uncertainties the participants might have had about dealing with matters as SOs. The participants faced 2 case scenarios, and discussed in groups how they would handle the situation in real life.

Ms. Ong Kai Fen, Assistant Director at the Singapore Sports School, shared her valuable insights and experiences, adding a real-world perspective and provided practical tips. Ms. Ong acknowledged that while the role of a Safeguarding Officer is not without its challenges, the sense of fulfilment that comes from successfully resolving cases makes it all worthwhile. Her words offered encouragement and emphasised the importance of perseverance and commitment in safeguarding efforts.

Many thanks to the SOs who attended and made the session so lively with their active participation.
