WELFARE
Important welfare information and downloadable resources
The welfare of our members is our top priority. We strive to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all runners at WERC.
We uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harm or abuse and are committed to addressing any such incidents at the club promptly.
As part of this commitment, we have a dedicated welfare email address that is only accessible by our Welfare Officer and Club Chair. If you have any welfare-related concerns, you can email, in confidence: welfare@werunclub.co.uk.
To ensure the well-being of all club members, the best thing you can do is to familiarise yourself — and adhere to — the club's Code of Conduct and Safeguarding Policy.
