Safeguarding Youngsters {Qualifications} for ALL Coaches and Assistants

As mentioned at our current CWO conferences, for affiliation subsequent season ALL coaches (coaches, assistants, managers and assistant managers) will want each an FA DBS examine and Safeguarding Youngsters qualification to be aligned to an affiliated workforce.

We’re, subsequently, encouraging golf equipment to make sure that coaches have accomplished this course earlier than the tip of the season to be able to keep away from delays in affiliating for subsequent season. The course might be accessed by way of:

We realise that golf equipment will likely be eager to unfold the price of these programs throughout the season, so please begin to encourage course completion now. We will likely be beginning to contact golf equipment individually to spotlight coaches who’ve but to finish the qualification.

DBS checks

We’re conscious of delays within the completion of DBS checks throughout the county so are once more urging golf equipment to start renewal of DBS’ as quickly as doable. Renewals might be began as much as 6 months earlier than expiry with candidates receiving notification of the necessity to renew 3 months beforehand. Please regulate your membership officers’ DBS standing and search to start out renewals asap to keep away from disruption. 

As soon as an applicant has acquired their DBS certificates, the membership wants to make sure that the DBS is displaying as inexperienced and accepted on the Membership Portal earlier than permitting that individual to have interaction in teaching exercise. We’ve seen a rise in membership costs the place coaches have been permitted to educate with out a DBS examine in place – that is one thing that all of us wish to keep away from!
