There are many ways we can help your sports club to develop.

Advice for sports clubs

There is a folder of information available to sports clubs who would like to apply for National Governing Body or Clubmark accreditation. Clubmark is a mark of recognition for sports clubs that are committed to providing a safe and effective environment for children. For more information see the Sport England website.

The pack contains easy to complete sections that build up evidence for clubs to use when they are assessed for accreditation. It also contains information that clubs can use to develop policies and codes of conduct.
