Sporting organisations can provide education and information for key staff and volunteers to help them understand why they should offer a UV safe environment which demonstrates sun protective behaviours.
For example, your organisation could
- Download UV protection materials using current SunSmart media campaigns
- Display fact sheets on sun protective clothing, hats, sunglasses and sunscreen as well as other information on Vitamin D, UV radiation and UV protection
Additional key resources for embedding UV protection material into sporting organisations, facilities and clubs can be located on the SunSmart website.
These resources can assist clubs to effectively implement UV protection in their sport setting by educating all staff and volunteers as well as club members.
According to the Healthy Sporting Environments evaluation, staff awareness will aid in the ease in which UV protection can be implemented within the community.
Below are some videos that promote UV protection to educate individuals involved in different sports.
