About
Clubmark
Sport England recognises and values the commitment made by sports clubs
to develop high quality, welcoming environments for young participants.
The development of clubs that encourage young people to take-up sport,
improve their talents, possibly play a leadership role and give them the
option to initiate and maintain life-long participation in sport is an
essential part of supporting the sporting infrastructure in England.
Clubmark
was introduced in 2002 by Sport England to:
- Ensure
that accrediting partners apply core common criteria to ensure that
consistent good practice and minimum operating standards are delivered
through all club development and accreditation schemes.
- To
empower parent(s)/carer(s) when choosing a club for their children.
- To
ensure that Clubmark accredited clubs are recognised through a common
approach to branding.
- To
provide a focus around which all organisations involved in sport can
come together to support good practice in sports clubs working with
children and young people.
Clubmark
accreditation is awarded to clubs that comply with minimum operating standards
in four areas:
- The
playing programme
-
Duty of care and safeguarding and protecting children and young people
- Sports
equity and ethics
- Club
management
Clubs
working towards accreditation can receive support and advice from BADMINTON
England and other partners such as county sports partnerships (Sport
Across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent). Circumstances will vary
between clubs and sports but the process of accreditation is the same.
There is only one set of paperwork to complete and in general most clubs
are well on the way to achieving accreditation without realising it.
The Process
- Click here
to open up BADMINTON England's Accreditation Page (Application form
near the top of the page)
- Fill in the application
form to register on the 'Club Future' programme
- BADMINTON England will
notify you when your application has been received and then send you
your resource pack and portfolio with all the information you will need
to work towards accreditation
- Work closely with your
club members, coaches and regional officer to achieve each of the required
criteria
- Your completed file
will then be assessed and your status will be granted. If there elements
of the criteria checklist that need some more work on the file will
be returned to you work on. Clubs have 12 months from application to
achieve accreditation.
