Cirencester Hockey - England Hockey ClubsFirst
CIRENCESTER HOCKEY CLUB have successfully acheived English Hockey's ClubsFirst Accreditation Scheme which is part of the Sport England Clubmark Programme. Clubs achieving accreditation are recognised nationally as providing a ‘Safe, effective and child friendly’ club environment

The accreditation scheme has four focus areas:

• Duty of Care and Child Protection
• The Coaching Programme
• Sports Equity and Ethics
• Club Management

The Committee has been working towards accreditation for some time now, drafting all the new procedures and paperwork, having volunteers attend courses and those directly involved with younger players, CRB Checked.

The Club has a robust Child Welfare & Procedures Policy which deals with every area of child protection from injury to bullying and from overplaying to staying away with a team overnight. Every Team has fully stocked First Aid Kits always as the pitchside. More volunteers are playing key roles in the Club and essential work is spread across a number of people. New volunteers are always welcome – just speak to a Committee Member or Team Coach if you feel able to assist.
