Welfare
Each year after the AGM we appoint a Club Welfare Officer (CWO) to advise the committee on welfare issues and to be the first point of contact for members or others on welfare matters. Kim Dwyer is our current CWO and her details can be found below. Matters of concern to us would generally fall under one of these four headings: If you believe that an incident relating to the welfare of a member or visitor has taken place, please contact the CWO immediately. If she is unavailable, try to reach the Secretary or the Chairman. If this fails also, then if urgent you can go straight to the British Rowing child protection officer (available 24 hours - as below). Please do not try to sort the matter out yourself. To help ensure the welfare of members, especially those under 18, we ask for and record relevant details, including information on relevant medical conditions. These records are kept secure by the Secretary and the CWO and are only made available to officers and coaches as necessary. Club members who have regular formal contact as session leaders or coaches with junior members are required by the club to seek checks from the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) via British Rowing. The CWO maintains records of such checks and ensures they are up to date. You can find documents to download below with more information, including our welfare policy, our procedures for recording and reporting incidents and contact details. These are also posted on the welfare section of the notice board at the club. Welfare Contacts
