Welfare Officers & Mental Health Champion
The club currently has several Welfare Officers, Lee Mooney (also a Mental Health Champion), Natasha Newton, Claire Parkinson and Paula Faller with a further 2 undertaking the necessary training with England Athletics. This allows us to have a more visible presence and offer support across all of our running groups though it must be remembered that Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. If you need to speak to someone in confidence please speak to one of our Welfare Officers or email welfarewdac@gmail.com.
