MALDON DISTRICT SPORTS CLUB FORUMS
Sports club forums are organised to give clubs the opportunity to receive the latest development information from Active Essex, Active Maldon and Maldon District Council.

CLUB ACCREDITATION
The leisure and sports development team at Maldon District Council is on hand to offer advice and assistance to all the District’s clubs that are looking to gain accreditation.
Below are some scheme examples:
CLUBMARK
Quality Club Accreditation shows that a club provides the right environment which ensures the welfare of members and encourages everyone to enjoy sport and stay involved throughout their lives.
An accredited club is recognised as a safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages as well as helping parents and carers know that they’re choosing the right club for their young people.
Clubmark is now part of Sport England’s Club Matters. Club Matters is Sport England’s one stop shop for sports clubs. Club Matters provides free, convenient, practical resources to help you develop and run a sustainable club.
To find out more about the resources available visit www.sportenglandclubmatters.com.
31
CHARTER STANDARD
The FA Charter Standard programme supported by McDonald’s is a kitemark, which recognises and rewards high quality levels of provision in club and league football. The kitemark is awarded to clubs and leagues that are well run, sustainable, which place child protection, quality coaching and safety paramount.
There are three levels of FA Charter Standard Awards for clubs to recognise the different standards. The entry level is an ‘FA Charter Standard Club’, the next level is an ‘FA Charter Standard Development Club’ and the most advanced ‘FA Charter Standard Community Club’. Each advanced level requires additional criteria to be met.
Quest
The UK quality scheme for sport and leisure.
Quest is a tool for continuous mprovement, designed primarily for the management of leisure facilities and leisure development.
For information regarding club forums please contact the leisure and sports development team at Maldon District Council.
