abstract="This paper offers a genealogical account of safeguarding in sport. Drawing specifically on Foucault's work, it examines the &quot;politics of touch&quot; in relation to the social and historical formation of child protection policy in sports coaching. While the analysis has some resonance with the context of coaching as a whole, for illustrative purposes it focuses principally upon the sport of swimming. Our analysis demonstrates how the linked signifiers of &quot;abuse&quot;, &quot;protection&quot; and &quot;safeguarding&quot; produce both continuity and change in the philosophy and meaning around coaching practice, giving rise to particular notions of &quot;government&quot; and regulation, risk aversion and prohibitions, and values. Within a culture of fear in sports coaching and society, the analysis traces the development of swimming policy following the exposure of select high-profile cases or critical incidents, where such historical events prompted a series of authoritative statements about the nature of child protection discourse in sport and education, and practice.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
