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:
- The playing programme
- Duty of care and child protection
- Sports equity and ethics
- Club management
The documents produced for the Clubmark submission are available here.
