Child Protection
In accordance with the guidelines issued by the England
Athletics, the Club have drawn up a Policy and Procedures, and appointed
a Child Officer. The procedures will apply to any Club member, or
volunteer helper, who works with or is involved with children (under 18)
during activities in athletics.
All our coaches have been or are being subjected
to a CRB check.
The Club's Welfare Officer is Brian Power 142 Sevenoaks Road, Orpington,
Kent BR6 9JZ 01689 602788 07919490365 (m)

ALL COACHES Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Checks.
You should have received a letter from UK Athletics (UKA) giving
instructions about obtaining a CRB check. It has taken me nearly a year to
complete all our coaches checks through Bromley Council. UKA has decided
that it is time that they did something about this very important issue.
They were very interested in our progressive policy around Child
Protection and the steps taken by us so far especially around CRB checks.
They now wish to bring the organisation inline with other organisations.
(They are about two years behind most.)
What this means is that we will all have to have the checks done again
with UKA being the registered body instead of Bromley.
I hear you say why can't our checks with Bromley be transferred? I have
been in negotiations with UKA and this is not possible. The main reason is
that as Bromley is the registered body any information that comes to light
about an applicant will go to Bromley and not UKA. Bromley would not be
able to pass this information on due confidentiality and cost.
There would appear to be no way out of this other than to re do the CRB
checks. This is important that we comply as they envisage that from next
year no new or requalifying coaching certificates will be issued without a
current CRB check being done through UKA.
The letter issued by UKA is self explanatory you will need to contact
them with you documents to hand (NI number, passport/driving licence
details). You will need to quote 22525500000 which is UKA's registered
body number. Tell them you are a VOLUNTEER and you need an ENHANCED
disclosure. They will send a partly completed form. I will have to check
with your original documents. Their contact number is 0870 9090844. The
letter you received will explain all this if you need any help please
contact me.

Child Protection
Information 17-11-03
Dear Fellow Coach/Team Manager
As Coaches and Team Managers and all others who come
into contact with children and young persons it has become necessary for us to
be checked out through police records.
In today's society such measures are increasingly
necessary for both the protection of the children and young persons that we
come into contact with. It is also important for the peace of mind of both
parents and the Club as an organisation.
As the Child Protection Officer for the Club I have been
made the person responsible for collating and checking of the CRB (Criminal
Records Bureau) Disclosure Application Forms.
I am aware that some of you would have been checked in
the past through various jobs or other organisations you have been involved
in. It is of importance for our club that we have a united system of checking
all our volunteers which is both universal and current. So I would ask that
unless you have been checked in the last month I ask that you complete one the
forms which comes with a guide to completing the form and a few tips from me.
As we are volunteers the cost of the check is met by
Bromley Borough.
It will be necessary to complete one of these forms and
produce to me evidence of identity as indicated on the form.
I will be distributing these forms to Coaches and Team
Managers that I know. I am at the track on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (Middle
distance girls). Also on Wednesdays with the U11s at 6pm.
For those of you I have not had the pleasure of meeting
please could you pass your details to me at
power.b@sky.com
and I will send you a form.
