Sports Clubs in Melton Borough
There are numerous sports clubs in the Borough that provide a
wide range of activities for people to take part in, whether that
be for competitive action or something a little more leisurely.
For clubs that have junior sections it is vital that these clubs
provide a safe and appropriate environment in which young people
can participate. 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.
- To empower parent(s)/carer(s) when choosing a club for their
children.
- To ensure that Clubmark accredited clubs are recognised through
a common approach to branding.
- To 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
- Sport Equity and Ethics
- Club management
