Accreditation (external link) recognises and values the
commitment made by sports clubs to develop high quality, welcoming
environments for young participants. The development of clubs that
encourage young people to take-up sport, improve their talents,
possibly play a leadership role and give them the option to start
and maintain life-long participation in sport is an essential part
of supporting the sporting infrastructure in England.
Accreditation is awarded to clubs that comply with minimum
operating standards in four areas:
- The playing programme
- Duty of care and safeguarding and protecting children and young
people
- Sports equity and ethics
- Club management
