Club accreditation
Clubmark/NGB accredited clubs (including Charter Standard)
Clubmark is the national cross sports quality accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections. It is a quality mark that sets minimum standards for coaching, administration and child protection for all clubs.
There is also a Clubmark scheme that covers sports clubs for disabled people which is managed by the English Federation for Disability Sport (EFDS)

Clubmark is endorsed by all the main sporting, youth and education agencies involved in delivery of sporting opportunity for young people and more than 10,000 across 35 sports are currently accredited or working towards the award.
There are many other clubs out there that do some very good work. A Clubmark club has provided all the evidence to meet the minimum criteria that is required, so this is the club we would suggest that you join.
