This event is being hosted by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Sports Welfare Officers. Our Sport Welfare Officers work closely with local club welfare officers to understand specific safeguarding needs. They help build confidence in volunteers so that they can amplify participant’s voices. They also connect with national governing bodies to make sure national expectations are in place locally, as well as help to make policies more accessible.
Funded by Sport England, they are part of a wider network of 63 Sport Welfare Officers, across 43 Active Partnerships.
