The final phase of Racing Welfare’s mental health research project has been launched today in the form of an online survey, designed for everyone working in the racing industry to take part.
The research is being undertaken by Will McConn of Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), part funded by a grant from The Racing Foundation. The survey aspect has been specifically designed to allow anyone working in racing and Thoroughbred breeding to take part and it is hoped it will attract responses from all sectors of the industry. The survey goes live today (14th of January) and can be accessed and completed online. The link for the survey is available on here and on our social channels and we will continue to publish the details throughout January and February. All submissions are completely confidential and the survey will remain open until the 22ndFebruary. The questions will take around 15 minutes to complete and it is hoped that as many people within racing will fill it out as possible.
