Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of policies regarding alcohol use and smoking within the scope of Child Protection in Sport Programmes. Documents of international and national sports organisations have been reviewed using a document analysis technique. Findings of the research have been used in the study by way of a content analysis method. National and international sports organisations have set up various alcohol and cigarette policies with the intention of preventing child abuse in sports environments by being a role model to children, encouraging children not to acquire bad habits and thereby creating a healthier society. Consequently, policies regarding alcohol use and smoking will be recommended as part of the child protection scheme within the sports system in Turkey.
