Joanna is a leading consultant, speaker, and advocate for athlete welfare, safeguarding, and culture change in cheerleading, dance, and gymnastics. With over 15 years of hands-on experience across the sector, she supports gyms, studios, and competition providers to embed better systems, training, and culture from the inside out.

Her extensive safeguarding expertise includes over a decade delivering in-house training and leading safeguarding provision for national and international organisations. She holds multiple certifications, including Designated Safeguarding Officer status, with specialist training in Safeguarding in Sport.

We discuss the importance of robust policies and processes regarding club welfare and the friction creating these, the issues with copy and pasting template policies, the responsibilities and considerations of the modern day coach, the performance benefits of a safe environment and so much more.

This is an important episode for club leaders and coaches alike, a topic that we mustn't bury our head in the sand about.
