Ed Morgan KC published in LawInSport on Safeguarding Policies

Outer Temple’s, Ed Morgan KC, has been published in the LawInSport magazine. The article provides helpful pointers to assist organisations in creating a culture of safe sport.

Ed’s article, titled ‘Beyond the policy: Creating a culture of safeguarding in sport in the UK’ examines what is required (in Ed’s view) to achieve an institutional commitment to contribute to a shared culture of safeguarding and the practical measures to begin the process.

Ed has produced the article by drawing on his extensive professional experience and expertise (in employment law, regulatory practice and public law), as a judge, a board member of corporate bodies and charities. He has advised and represented clients in safeguarding related cases in the UK, Ireland and Rome; and was directly involved in the provision of advice and assistance as part of the preparations for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse [IICSA] and has represented the General Medical Council in proceedings against doctors arising out of safeguarding related offences. Ed is regularly instructed to represent and/or conduct investigations for organisation in the charities, education, healthcare and religious denominations sectors.
