Community Sports Clubs
West Northumberland has a wealth of sports clubs, many of which are run by enthusiastic volunteers. The increased legislation placed on volunteers has made running a sports club a more onerous task– gone are the days when people would take a group of children for a kick about.
Now clubs need to consider the following:
· Qualifying coaches
· Regular CRB checks
· Child Welfare policies and procedures within junior clubs
· Club Mark accreditation
· First Aid and risk assessment training
· Funding applications
NCL Sports Development team are on hand to assist clubs with all of the above.
