Club Welfare Officer Corner
Read more about the new CWO Corner and the latest updates from the Governance Team.
In the recent Club Welfare Officer newsletter, we announced the new CWO Corner in RowHow:
Access to the corner is restricted to Club Welfare Officers only, in order to log in you will need to:
- Activate your RowHow account, if you have not logged in before, go to www.rowhow.org and log in using your British Rowing username and password.
- If you have trouble logging in using your British Rowing username and password, try resetting your password to one that is a minimum of ten characters
- Once you have successfully logged in, contact [email protected] and once confirmed that you are your Club’s Welfare Officer, we will be able to ‘unlock’ your access to the Welfare Officer Corner.
We will soon be announcing quarterly roundtable discussions for CWO’s to be able to network, discuss key topics and receive support from a member of the Governance and Welfare Team. The dates for these will be listed in the CWO Corner in the next month and we will be running a poll to hear specifically which topics you may want to discuss at the first meeting! Don’t miss out!
Anti-Doping Corner
The Code is changing soon, and the 2021 Prohibited List is also live. Make sure you visit our clean sport page or follow @ukantidoping on social to find out more about what the changes could mean for you.
In response to these changes and as part of our commitment to fair and ethical sport, British Rowing will be rolling out its new iRowClean education in 2021. Alongside that, our all-new iRowFair integrity education will also be made available. We hope to release information about these in next month’s newsletter so keep an eye out for that!
