Clubs Update brings you a regular round-up of sports club development information.  For Subscribe and Unsubscribe information, please see the end.

In this issue:


Health and Safety

This issue often causes more difficulties for clubs than any other, and its one where the legislation applies equally to small sports clubs as to large multinational companies.  We've published several templates and forms to the website, and thanks to a submission from a Scottish governing body, we've recently published a comprehensive example of a full-scale policy that you can adopt and adapt.
Health and Safety policies


Running Sport

The 'Running Sport' series of booklets provide an excellent guide to anyone engaged in club management and organisation.  Several of the booklets have been recently revised and these cover main officer roles, funding, competitions, volunteers, and PR.  All the booklets are available for download.

Training for child protection officers

Children 1st and sportscotland are now offering training for those taking on the role of child protection officer in sports clubs.  The three-hour workshop supports the good practice guidelines developed by sportscoach UK and takes a very practical approach that will help you decide what needs to be done in your club.

Club accreditation

Local authority sports development teams and national governing bodies in Scotland should all have received invitations to four regional consultation meetings scheduled for 9, 14, and 15 March.  Each meeting will consider the best way forward for club accreditation in Scotland.  The outcome of this consultation will be reported here in due course.
