The Club has been working towards the Clubmark accreditation scheme for community sports clubs and on Saturday we were pleased to receive our certificate of accreditation from Cornwall Sport Partnership.
The award is based on four key areas of club development:
- Activity/playing programmes – this includes coaching qualifications required, insurance and coach to participant ratios.
- Duty of care and welfare – appropriate risk assessments, health and safety policies, training, compliance and child protection policies.
- Knowing your club and its community – this ensures that your club is committed to fairness and equity in respect of the way it seeks to attract and retain members from your local community.
- Club management – which covers issues to do with club and committee structures and the general running of the organisation.
The procedures and the Club Development Plan should give a good base for the committee to take the club forward.
Clubmark is the Sport England mark of high quality sports clubs.
