At BF, our shared goal is simple: to ensure every fencer has a safe, supportive and professionally run environment in which to train and compete. Hosted by Liz Behnke (Lead Safeguarding Officer) for British Fencing, this webinar/session will explore the the importance of BF affiliated clubs being fully compliant in order to achieve this goal. The webinar will explain in detail what being ‘fully compliant’ means and how BF can help support clubs in achieving this.
Learning Objectives
If you have any questions about this session, please contact Chris Bryden (BF Club Development Officer) via [email protected].
Due to popular demand and feedback from previous iterations of BF Learning Week, BF has now extended the event to a Learning Month. Now named BF Learning Month, this year’s event will be taking place between the 23rd July and 21st August 2026.
It is an annual opportunity for our members and wider community to join online developmental and informative sessions in subjects from coaching to community development.
BF Learning Month is also supporting the first online International Fencing Research Committee (IFRC) Conference. The IFRC welcomes leading researchers, coaches, and practitioners from around the world to explore the latest advances in fencing science and methodology.
