Project description
Numerous measures were implemented in sports clubs to prevent cases of sexual abuse, most of which were prescribed by the management. Particularly in large associations, such implementation strategies often reach their limits and it is difficult for important assistance to reach the club members. Amyna e.V. initiated a project focussing on the qualification of teams of three, consisting of a coach, parent and young person, in order to also become active against sexual violence on the part of the members. With the help of compact training, such a team was to be supported in addressing the topic of "sexual abuse" in the club and be available as contact persons in cases of borderline offences. The aim of the project was to prove the effectiveness of this training programme with regard to the development of the sports club and the participants' ability to act.
A total of representatives from seven sports clubs took part in the Amyna e.V. training programme and were asked to take part in a questionnaire survey as part of the training.
12 people answered a questionnaire immediately before and directly after the training programme and again approximately six months later. The results show that the participants' self-efficacy expectations (SWE) were increased when the team factors were included. The SWE is seen as an indirect measure of the effectiveness of prevention measures aimed at the behavioural level.
