This video includes Sport Welfare Officers and representatives from NGBs sharing how this support works in practice — from safeguarding young people and adults, to building connections, strengthening knowledge, and creating welcoming spaces for all.
Supported by Sport England, NGBs, the Child Protection in Sport Unit and the Ann Craft Trust, Sport Welfare Officers provide guidance to clubs, deliver local training, and help embed positive welfare cultures at every level of sport.
