Policy Proposals for KADA’s Chaperone Management System

PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the current status of KADA’s chaperone management in order to suggest policy proposals for the establishment of a stable and sustainable chaperone pool. METHODS We conducted a literature review and document analysis, along with formal and informal dialogues with experts to supplement the data that could not be obtained through these methods. RESULTS This study suggested practical ways for KADA to establish a chaperone pool by leveraging the government’s volunteer platform and collaborating with universities that have sports-related departments across Korea. In addition, it proposed specific approaches to promote and encourage university students to engage with chaperoning. CONCLUSIONS It is anticipated that this study will facilitate the implementation of the proposed policies in the field of sports and position KADA as a model for other NADOs in terms of chaperone pool composition.
