Clubmark

EGCC successfully attained the Clubmark accreditation in 2007. The Clubmark was introduced in 2002 by Sport England to:

• Ensure that accrediting partners apply core common criteria to ensure 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 sport
• Clubs working with children and young people
• Clubmark accreditation is awarded to clubs that comply with minimum operating standards in four areas:

1. The playing programme
2. Duty of care and child protection
3. Sports equity and ethics
4. Club management
