Sport And Welfare Officer

Be Active is committed to promoting good practice and safe sport for children, young people and adults at a local level.

The Sport Welfare Project is being driven by Veronique Nani and the team who are part of the new national network of sport welfare officer.

· Signpost clubs to the right advice and guidance

· Work with club welfare officers to create a safer culture within the organisation

· Facilitate local training opportunities and events

· Create networks so that volunteers and staff feel better connected and informed

· Recognise, share and develop best practice

· Help raise awareness of safeguarding and welfare for young people and adults at local events

The Sport Welfare Officer role is not to advise or manage any welfare concerns. All concerns must be referred without delay in accordance with National Governing Body/Club Safeguarding Policy.

Veronique is keen to hear directly from clubs in order to discuss how we can provide support to local sports clubs by helping the Club Welfare Officers embed safeguarding policies and procedures, as well as sharing good practice. Veronique is keen to strengthen links across organisations working on welfare and safeguarding to support safe and inclusive experiences in clubs.
