CRB Checks

Important Information on CRB checks:

 

  • Licences will not be issued untila clear check has been received. You will need a CRB check if:

  • you have already completed a CRB check through another organisation i.e. NGB / local authority

  • You are looking to upgrade to the next level but never completed a CRB check in the past. Your licenced may have expired and as a result invalidated your insurance and your new licence will not be issued until a clear check has been received.

  • checks are FREE for all coaches coaching for an athletic club on a voluntary basis

  • If you are being paid to coach or are not a voluntary coach for an athletic club (i.e. student / casual sports coach etc) you will need to pay an additional £36.00 for the check to take place

Assessment of Coaching Competence 

 

Occasionally a coach who has not yet followed a UKA course of study is licensed at a particular level. This is likely to be because the person:

 

  • Trained abroad and has qualifications from another country 

  • Has coaching experience and qualifications in other sport(s) and good knowledge of athletics 

  • Is a PE teacher with good knowledge and experience of athletics 

  • Has considerable experience as an athlete and has demonstrated skill and understanding in coaching others  

 

This “Assessment of Coaching Competence” process is rigorous and always based upon an assessment of practical coaching competence.  The cost of this process which covers administration and assessment is £75.  If you feel that this might be suitable for you please contact Alan Richardson or one of the regional team to discuss this further
