British racing has joined the Royal Foundation and other sports organisations in supporting On Your Side, a new suicide-prevention toolkit for people in sport.
What is happening?
The BHA is working with Racing Welfare, the Injured Jockeys Fund and other industry organisations to examine existing support and identify where provision can be strengthened.
Why this belongs on Thoroughbred.Global
Our People of Racing coverage recognises the whole workforce, not simply the most visible participants. A sustainable racing industry must consider human welfare alongside equine welfare.
Thoroughbred.Global view
We will continue giving visibility to the people, support systems and working conditions behind the sport.
