I am Kerry, one of the welfare officers for Four of Clubs and a parent of a club member.
If you have any concerns or questions regarding yours or your child’s welfare, you are welcome to contact me. More information about the Welfare officer’s role can be found on the British Fencing Website and the Four of Clubs website. https://www.britishfencing.com/welfare-zone https://www.virtualfencingclub.com/welfare.html I attended the following workshops last year · Sportscoach UK ‘Safeguarding and Protecting Children in Sport’ workshop. · British Fencing’s ‘Time to Listen’ (TTL) workshop · British Fencing’s En Garde Ready – Introduction to the Welfare Pack I recently completed Mental Health for Sport and Physical Activity through UK Coaching and First4Sport. If you need someone to talk to or any support with yours or your child’s mental health I am happy to be contacted. I am a qualified Person-centred counsellor and have worked with both adults and young people. In recent years I have mainly offered one to one counselling but for several years I worked with Triumph Over Phobia which offered group support in managing phobias, general anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. I believe that peer support is valuable in helping to manage our mental health and I am happy to be a part of this team. I will be available at some of the Zoom meetings currently offered during this time of lockdown. |
