Club Mark Folder Nearly Ready For Submission

Over the last six months Harry Evans and Neil Templeman have worked on the 'Club Mark' Scheme which the club has to fulfil to show the club is a athlete friendly club and has policies and guidelines in place for safety of athletes.

The charter mark scheme looks at Safety of athletes, the coaching programme at the club, equality within the club, how the club is organised.

The club has to achieve a satisfactory mark in all of the areas mentioned above, and there will be a site visit by an assessor during the summer months to assess the club against the select criteria.

The folder will be submitted to the assessor at the end of March 2005, which will contain codes of conducts for athletes, parents or carers as well as coaches, diversity statements, development plans, risk assessments, emergency response to an accidents to name just a few.

As a result of this the web site will soon have two areas that will be password protected.  One will be for athletes with an induction booklet, rules for safety and other items of information.

The second password protected area will be for Coaches to access risk assessments, development plans, code of conduct, discplinary procedures and other items associated with coaching.
