Club Standards
Clubs are responsible for their own set of governance and duty of care for their members. To help clubs, England Athletics has created a Club Standards checklist on the myAthletics Portal for clubs to complete.
Our team of six Club Support Managers offers dedicated support to clubs who are working through Club Standards by:
- Providing content on Club Hub such as templates, guides and guidance
- Delivering virtual forums either nationally or regionally to give the opportunity for clubs to ask questions and/or to show case good practice in clubs
- Working with Regional Councils to offer bespoke support to clubs in their region
- Offering bespoke support for those clubs who access programmes, training and funding
Obtaining the Safeguarding standard by 2025
From 2025, in order to reaffiliate with England Athletics, clubs must achieve our ‘Safeguarding’ standard as a mandatory requirement. Our existing support – which includes our designated Club Support Managers, online resources via Club Hub and myAthletics – are complemented and enhanced by the addition of regular virtual clinics for clubs.
