Welfare and Safeguarding

Welfare Officers are trained and trusted individuals who you can speak to about a concern, either within or outside of athletics. A Welfare Officer has the right training, skills and knowledge to manage any concern raised in an appropriate way. Our Welfare Officers have completed the England Athletics safeguarding and Welfare Officer training. Our policies and codes of conduct are also in place to ensure that everyone has a positive experience within our association and organised activities.



Our Club Welfare Officers are Natalie Drinkwater and Gordon Geach: welfare@lincsathletics.com

We operate to the following England Athletics policies: https://www.englandathletics.org/welfare/safeguarding/
