As a Sport Welfare Officer, I'm constantly reflecting on the work I've done, and looking at impact made and value added.

Can't wait to work with Sport Structures and see how our network is changing the culture of safeguarding and welfare in sport.

Over halfway through #SafeguardingAdultsWeek.
So far I've engaged with sport clubs and activity providers in Leeds, discussing the importance of safeguarding in sport. I also observed good practice at a Netball club. And today I joined my colleague on a session for Calderdale clubs.
