Safeguarding in Badminton Wales: Everyone Has a Role

At Badminton Wales, safeguarding is a shared responsibility. We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all participants—children and adults alike.

To support this, we have dedicated Safeguarding Officers for children and Welfare Officers for adults across our clubs and committees.

Why Your Club Needs a Safeguarding / Welfare Officer
Having a Safeguarding or Welfare Officer is essential for every club. These roles help ensure that safeguarding and welfare are embedded in the club’s culture and operations. They are key members of any committee and play a vital role in promoting safety and wellbeing.

Why Become a Safeguarding / Welfare Officer?
Taking on the role of a Safeguarding or Welfare Officer is a rewarding opportunity to make a positive impact. It’s not a difficult or intimidating role—in fact, it’s a chance to:

• Help create a safe and inclusive environment for all members.
• Use your existing skills and experience from work or volunteering.
• Support your club in meeting its safeguarding responsibilities.
• Be a trusted point of contact for welfare concerns.

Whether you’re new to the role or considering stepping up, your contribution will be valued and supported.
