Clubmark launch in Lydney
Lydney Amateur Boxing Club in the Forest of Dean is the first ABAE affiliated club to become Clubmark-accredited.
A launch will take place at the club on Monday 18th February, when ABAE Chairman Keith Walters will meet with representatives from Lydney ABC and Clubmark for a presentation at 6pm.
ABOUT CLUBMARK
Clubmark was introduced in 2002 by Sport England to:
- Ensure that accrediting partners apply core common criteria to ensure that consistent good practice and minimum operating standards are delivered through all club development and accreditation schemes.
- Empower parent(s)/carer(s) when choosing a club for their children.
- Ensure that Clubmark accredited clubs are recognised through a common approach to branding.
- Provide a focus around which all organisations involved in sport can come together to support good practice in sports clubs working with children and young people.
Clubmark accreditation is awarded to clubs that comply with minimum operating standards in four areas:
The playing programme
Duty of care and child protection
Sports equity and ethics
Club management
More information about Clubmark, as well as a resource pack and all the details your club needs to apply will be available for download on the ABAE website next week. We'll also have photographs and information from the launch in Lydney.
