Sport Welfare Lead

Who we are

We are the strategic lead for sport and physical activity across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. A vibrant, independent organisation, we are committed to improving the lives of people across the two counties through the power of physical activity and sport.

We pride ourselves in being part of a forward thinking, national network of Active Partnerships (43 across England). Our role is to understand, interpret and localise the national sports strategies from DCMS and Sport England (Uniting the Movement) though our primary role, as set out by Sport England.

Our Purpose

Create a healthier Herefordshire & Worcestershire by harnessing the power of physical activity, focussing on those populations that are the least engaged and would most benefit from regular opportunities

**Our Values**

**Inclusive**

We are committed to transparency and equality. We champion diversity

**Energy**

We are a vibrant organisation that makes sport and physical activity happen, with a hardworking and enthusiastic approach

**Quality**

We are dedicated to delivering to high standards and are motivated to achieve the best results with the greatest impact

**Teamwork**

We work with integrity and in unity, complementing one another to establish and realise shared goals

**Respect**

We consider, understand and value other's opinions and circumstances

**About the Role**

The Sport Welfare Lead will be part of a new national network (43 Active Partnerships in England) to support National Governing Bodies for Sport (NGBs) and their local clubs, to make sport and physical activity a positive and safe experience regardless of age and ability.

The primary role will be to support local sports clubs. You will be able to build relationships (primarily with volunteers), to advise, guide, support and where appropriate challenge.

The successful person will understand the importance of having the right safeguarding and welfare practices in place, to ensure participants of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to take part and enjoy sport and physical activity in a safe way.

The role and approach have been developed in collaboration with a number of partners - including NGBs, APs, the NSPCC’s Child Protection in Sport Unit, and the Ann Craft Trust. It is a response from Sport England and UK Sport to The Whyte Review, an independent investigation into the allegations of mistreatment in the sport of gymnastics. The role is funded through the lottery sports fund.

**About Us**:
Active Herefordshire & Worcestershire (Active HW) is one of 43 Active Partnerships (APs), who are funded by Sport England, to tackle inactivity which is driven by inequalities. We are a charity focused on improving the lives of people in Herefordshire & Worcestershire through the power of physical activity and sport.

Presently over 179,000 adults and 51% of children and young people in Herefordshire & Worcestershire fail to meet NHS guidance.

To tackle inequalities, we will focus on priority audiences (those people through inequalities and most likely to be inactive) and localised places (where the most physically inactive people live and greatest inequalities exist) across both counties, these are identified through insight and engagement with stakeholders and networks.

We collaborate with stakeholders (for example our funder Sport England, Local Authorities, Health and positive activity networks, national governing bodies for sport NGBs) and partners (for example voluntary community sector organisations - including sports clubs, primary care networks).

AHW is committed to being diverse and inclusive. The organisation’s v
