Fantastic to be joined by West of England Sport Trust (Wesport) earlier in the week for an introductory CPD session on children's rights and youth voice in sport.

Youth voice is something we want to embed across the club, and this was a great starting point for making that a reality.

To be continued!

This week, Matt, one of our Sport Welfare Officers visited Bristol & West AC. There, he ran an introductory session on youth voice to coaches and committee members. You can read why it's important for sports clubs to listen to the voice of children and young people on our website and how you too can access our free support.
