Building safer clubs: Supporting club welfare across the nation

The Sport Welfare Officer Network (SWO network) has been created to support National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and their local clubs to promote good practice and safer sport for all. The network is funded by Sport England through National Lottery funding.

The SWOs are working with key partners to develop a local approach to assisting and supporting club welfare officers, to create safer club environments and improved experiences for children, young people and adults.

Once recruitment is complete, the network will consist of 63 Sport Welfare Officers across 43 active partnerships and, working with Sport England, we are leading on keeping the network connected.

To do this we have a Strategic Lead for Welfare and a Programme Manager working as part of the national organisation's team.

Find your local SWO here

What's the impact?

The Sport Welfare Officers will help create safer sport for all by:

Providing additional, local support for club welfare officers

Signposting clubs to the right advice and guidance

Working with club welfare officers to create a safer culture within their organisation

Facilitating local training opportunities and events

Creating networks so that volunteers and staff feel better connected and informed

Recognising, sharing and developing best practice

Helping to raise awareness of safeguarding and welfare for young people and adults at local events

Latest news

Our work tells a story. Take a look at how our efforts have transformed lives, empowered communities, and challenged inequalities.

For more information about the OSF programme in your area, please contact your local active partnership.
