Club Accreditation
Gaining accreditation demonstrates that a club has addressed issues such as equality and child protection and gives confidence to parents who are choosing a club for their children.
Sport England's Clubmark is a cross-sport quality accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections.
They have produced a 'Pathway to accreditation' so you can answer some questions in order to find out which organisation to contact to register an interest.
For further information please visit Clubmark.
County Durham Sport, as part of a North East CSP panel, can accredit your club if you have a non-accrediting National Governing Body. For more information, please contact Catherine Watson on 0191 301 8683 or email catherine.watson@durham.gov.uk
We can now provide a list of sports which are licensed to accredit clubs with Clubmark or a sport-specific equivalent.
Running Sports has recently produced guidance on how their courses can help attain Clubmark accreditation. They have put together a list of their courses grouped by which of the four areas of Clubmark they support.
