General<br />
The <strong>Shrivenham</strong> Station Welfare Officer (SWO) and his<br />
team acts as the Commanding Officer’s Representatives<br />
for the welfare matters concerning all ranks under<br />
command both married and single, and their immediate<br />
families, including International Personnel and their<br />
families.<br />
Role<br />
To provide a professionally based confidential welfare<br />
support service, responsive to the needs of individuals,<br />
families and the chain of command, to enhance the<br />
morale and well-being of all personnel, and their<br />
dependants, in order to maximise the operational<br />
effectiveness of our servicemen, women and civilian<br />
component within <strong>Shrivenham</strong> Station. The Station<br />
Welfare Officer is an approachable interface for families<br />
within the military and is the focal point for all personnel<br />
on welfare matters. The Officer aids the social integration<br />
of individuals and families new to the unit and is the<br />
focal point for information about the unit. Within the<br />
limitations of their knowledge, the SWO advises and<br />
assists those personnel and families who approach<br />
him for help or who are referred by the unit chain of<br />
command (or outside organisations). He then refers<br />
them to the appropriate specialist welfare agency when<br />
there is a need to do so.<br />
