This appeals procedure is not intended to replace existing appeals procedures which already exist in respect of competitions, safeguarding, or water safety. Nor are they intended to replace
or override the relevant procedures existing in the constitutions of members.
Any complaint from a club member, against their club, or their officials, should be handled by that club, who should have their own grievance procedures in place.
Once a club has dealt with a complaint and the complainant is still not happy, then that person(s) can appeal to WSR for a decision. That decision will then be final with no recourse to Welsh
Rowing or British Rowing.
Should an appeal be made against the outcome of the club hearing, then the complainant should set out the grounds on which they wish to make the appeal in writing to the WSR
Chairman, within 14 days of the of the outcome of the club hearing being known.
Any complaints to WSR may only be considered by the Committee Officers if the parties involved follow the processes set out in the attached document.
