Here’s a news and events update from British Taekwondo.
World Autism Acceptance Week 2024
The first week of April saw British Taekwondo support World Autism Acceptance Week 2024.
Autistic people face discrimination and barriers across all sectors of society – in the health and social care systems, in education, in employment, and everywhere in between. It is crucial that Autistic people, and their families and carers, can access tailored information, guidance and support to overcome those barriers, along with opportunities to explore their interests, develop skills and build friendships for fulfilled lives.

Find out more about Club Welfare Officers in our FAQs
British Taekwondo has a clear responsibility towards young people and a Welfare Officer is vital for our member clubs.
Appointing a Club Welfare Officer is a really good way of doing this as it means there is a dedicated individual who the young people, coaches and parents can go to.
From the 1st June 2024 it will be a requirement for your club or organisation to have a registered Club Welfare Officer in order to affiliate with British Taekwondo.
The requirement comes into effect on 1st June 2024 – however you will have until your club affiliation renewal date to have a trained and registered Club Welfare Officer in place.
We know our members have several questions about appointing a Welfare Officer and we’ve created a set of FAQs to answer them.
