Qualifications and experience

The competence of sports coaches to deliver activities safely should be verified through up-to-date evidence of the following:

  • Relevant experience
  • Appropriate national governing body coaching award
  • First aid training recommended by the Health and Safety Executive
  • Child protection training
  • Satisfactory references
  • Satisfactory enhanced Criminal Records Bureau disclosure certificate

For details of national governing body contacts, visit the Sport England website.

Remember:

  • Always ask to see original confirmation of certificates
  • Regardless of qualifications and experience, a minor (under 18 years of age) cannot carry the legal responsibility for a group of children and therefore should always work directly alongside a competent adult
