A huge thank you to all the speakers and attendees who made today's seminar such a success! 🙏

We’re deeply grateful to Lydia Banerjee and Mhairi Maclennan for sharing their invaluable insights on trauma-informed approaches in safeguarding and investigations within sport.

A big thank you to our attendees as well for engaging with such an important topic. Your participation and commitment to creating safer spaces in sport are truly appreciated.

We’re excited to continue working together to foster emotional safety, empower survivors, and build more effective, trauma-informed processes.
