During the COVID-19 pandemic particularly, I thought the WSA were excellent in disseminating information and taking the lead to support the sector.\u00a0<\/p><p>That support throughout the pandemic was very helpful. I attended some business continuity calls which were of great use; the WSA really stepped up, communicating with Welsh Government and seeming to be the ones with all the information for the sector.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We\u2019ve used the WSA as a sounding board when we\u2019ve wanted to have an independent opinion on something, just to get another viewpoint in case we have any concerns or anything like that.\u00a0<\/p><p>Whenever we\u2019ve gone to the WSA, they\u2019ve always been very helpful, cooperative, and basically just given us what we needed.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.welshkarate.org.uk\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Welsh Karate Governing Body<\/a> are also among the many organisations that utilise the WSA&#8217;s DBS checking service, and Roger revealed how his experience of the service had been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The WSA\u2019s DBS service is very good \u2013 it does exactly what is says on the tin and does what we want it to do!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>We adopted the system many years ago; as soon as the offer became available, we took it up. It\u2019s easy, quick, and we\u2019re very happy with it seeing as it\u2019s helped efficiency compared to the system that we used prior.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote
