ClubMark

If your club takes the welfare of its junior members seriously and wants to provide a junior section that is recognised as being well organised, the ECB ClubMark accreditation scheme is for you.

ClubMark has been developed with Sport England to set down a set of simple criteria and a support process for you to work through that will enable you to gain accreditation.

ClubMark will benefit your club in a number of ways such as:

  • Support from your CDM and Cumbria Cricket Board
  • Support from your Local Authority Sports Development Officer
  • Support from your County Sports Partnership
  • Help with long-term planning
  • Help promote your club to the local community
  • Help with advice and applying for grant aid
  • Help to develop your coaches and volunteers
  • Priority for grant aid sources

More importantly the ClubMark logo can be carried on any club literature and promotional materials
which confirms your commitment to a safe child friendly junior section which will appeal to:

  • Local Parents
  • Local School Teachers
  • Local Community Groups
  • Funding Agencies
  • Local Authority Sports Development Teams
  • Commercial Sponsors

Getting your club registered for the ClubMark scheme could not be easier. Just contact your Cricket Development Manager - Bob Simpson who will be able to send you a very simple and straight forward Registration Form to complete. Once registered ECB will send you, via your CDM, the following to help you work towards ClubMark:

  • A Cricket Assessment File that outlines the key criteria that needs to be met and the evidence you need to produce to show you have met the criteria:
    • Duty of care and child welfare
    • Coaching and competition
    • Sports equity and ethics
    • Club Management
  • A CD-ROM that gives you much of the information you will need to use to gain ClubMark accreditation such as copies of:
    • A Model Club Constitution
    • Model codes of conduct
    • Model equity policy
    • Model volunteer job descriptions
    • Model accident report forms
    • Model attendance registers

There is no time limit for the completion of ClubMark accreditation. Each club will be different, for some clubs it may take a few months, for others it may take longer. Accreditation is driven by you!
