The Leaders' Line has been launched as a confidential support system for employers, leaders and managers working or self-employed in the British horseracing and Thoroughbred breeding industries. A webinar detailing the service will take place on Feb. 24.

Industry Wellbeing Chair Simon Jones said, “Leaders and managers play a crucial role across the horseracing industry, often juggling the needs of their organisations and the wider sport, alongside being responsible for the wellbeing of their staff. While there is a broad range of support available for people working across the industry, having consulted a wide range of people including racehorse trainers, racecourse managers, head grooms, stud managers and industry executives, it became evident that a bespoke service tailored to the needs of leaders and managers was required.

“The Leaders' Line aims to provide that, helping to ensure these people in supervisory roles are well supported in their day-to-day lives and through the unique challenges of their roles. It is vital that they can access confidential and impartial support whenever they might need it.”
