At British Wrestling, we are committed to continually enhancing our safeguarding standards to ensure a safe and supportive environment for everyone involved in the sport.
As wrestling continues to grow across the UK, we recognise the vital role played by our Club Welfare Officers. To support their ongoing development, we are introducing a series of online safeguarding clinics. These sessions will cover a range of key topics — from international travel to reporting concerns — providing practical guidance and expert advice to help welfare officers carry out their responsibilities with confidence.
From November 2026, it will become a requirement that Club Welfare Officers have attended at least one clinic over the past 12 months to be recognised as part of Club Affiliation.
You can explore the full schedule of upcoming clinics and access booking links below.
