I take a lead role in Rise’s safeguarding work for Gateshead, Sunderland and South Tyneside. Primarily my role involves providing support and guidance to NGBs (National Governing Bodies), Sports Club Welfare Officers and local community organisations to help improve their safeguarding and welfare practices.
I work with a range of organisations, forming partnerships to help prioritise inclusion and motivate cultural change to create safer and more welcoming environments so that everyone can enjoy and feel safe to participate in sport or physical activity.
