This week is Drowning Prevention Week.

The RNLI have a page with guidance on water safety in sport; you choose your sport from a list and it gives you the relevant information. You can find it here:

Having an inspiring day at the #ActivePartnerships #SportWelfare Officer Network away day.

Great opportunity to speak with system partners and find out what SWOs are up to across the country. @activepartnerships.bsky.social

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.

It's been a busy #SafeguardingAdultsWeek for the Sport Welfare team at Yorkshire Sport. We gave the green light to discussing safeguarding and welfare practice, and we've made further plans to support clubs and orgs who engaged with us. πŸ’š

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.
