Özet

This presentation aims to address critical aspects, trajectories and (under)developments in child protection and welfare (CWP) in sport. Specific examples provided e.g. from research to justice system as well as comparisons from past to present, as the subject being the researcher's longitidunal field study, insights provided include but not limited to auto-ethnographic reflections. The conditions for the safeguarding children's welfare in sport are discussed according to aforementioned various social data. The CWP structures and experiences today, whether framed as developed or not, are not independent from the current qualities of political, economic, legal or any other impactful social domain in or beyond sport. Sport fields can be highly culture specific and inconsistent; despite the attempts of globalization movement for different agendas, we cannot call that there is such homogenization aimed and developed well to stop children's exploitation. The complexity, vulnerabilities as well as the critical role of agency remain high in such context. Lack of systematic research, collaboration and coordination remain at both local and international levels, and these issues should be resolved as well.
