Minimum Operating Standards

For clubs that use our Leisure Centres we operate county wide minimum operating standards for clubs with participants or members that are under 18 years of age. The standards cover the key areas that most parents would expect, namely that clubs/organisations have measures in place to ensure the health and wellbeing of children and young people, including:

  • How to minimise injuries and deal with them effectively when they arise
  • Regular volunteers are checked for their suitability to work with children

If your club/organisation has a governing body accreditation such as Clubmark then it already exceeds the required standards and will only need to provide the accreditation number and awarding body to the leisure centre that it uses.
