FOCUS CLUBS FROM THE WEBSITE: County
sports clubs receive national recognition
Four
of Northamptonshire's sports clubs are celebrating after receiving national
accreditation from Sport England and their respective National Governing Body. Wollaston
Cricket Club
and Syresham Cricket Club received Clubmark accreditation from the
England and Wales Cricket Board, whilst Kettering RFC and Oundle RFC have
received the Rugby Football Union equivalent, Seal of Approval. The
accreditation scheme has been developed by Sport England and adopted by National
Governing Bodies in 16 sports. It has been designed to recognise and accredit
sports clubs that are committed to providing a safe and child friendly
environment for children and young people. In order to gain accreditation clubs
must demonstrate a high standard in the four key areas of the scheme; duty of
care and child protection, coaching and competition, sports equity and ethics
and club management. The
scheme encourages clubs to review and build upon existing practices to ensure
that the environment in which they operate is safe, effective and child
friendly. It also enables parents and teachers to easily identify clubs which
are working within minimum standards in relation to health and safety and child
protection. Details
of accredited clubs with in the county can be found by visiting the
Northamptonshire Sport Club Directory www.sportsclubs-northants.org
