About London Sport:
As a charity, we focus our effort on helping children and adults in the most deprived communities who face the greatest challenges of inequality.
As a strategic leader, advocate and convenor for London’s grassroots sport and physical activity sector, we collaborate with London’s local authorities and other organisations to ensure more equitable and inclusive access to sport and physical activity.
Our work aims to break the link between inactivity and inequality to improve the health and wellbeing of those from the most deprived communities. Supported by Sport England, and working closely with the Mayor of London, we are also an ‘Active Partnership’, the largest of 43 across England who are transforming lives through sport and physical activity.
About the Sport Welfare Team:
Our team of Sport Welfare Officers is dedicated to improving safeguarding practice in sport and physical activity clubs in London. We work with National Governing Bodies, local authorities, and community groups to connect sports and promote good welfare practice locally.
We are not here to support case management or give advice about it. We are here to support general improvements in welfare and safeguarding processes, procedures, and culture within sports clubs and offer free training and workshops. We are an entirely free service available to all sports clubs and organisations in London.
