CWO Clinic Survey
2023 saw British Judo launch its monthly drop-in Club Welfare Clinics sessions. These sessions serve as a vital platform for clubs to collectively address concerns, review policies, and collaboratively work towards establishing a safe and inclusive culture. British Judo is continually reviewing its offerings to clubs to ensure we are providing valuable resources. To ensure these clinics are beneficial to our clubs, we are reaching out for your feedback.
Clubs should also be reminded that from 1st April 2024 it will be mandatory for all clubs with members under the age of 18 years to have a Club Welfare Officer (CWO). This extension, approved by the British Judo Board, will allow clubs more time to recruit a dedicated CWO.
Thank you for your commitment to the welfare of our clubs and members and we look forward to working together to create a safe and inclusive environment for all.
