In order to run as a club and be affiliated with PaddleUK we have to meet organisational standards that ensure inclusivity, safety, and proper governance. All of which seems far away from getting out on the water but is essential for the long-term safety, success and recognition of our Club and keeping ourselves and members safe.
PaddleUK state: Standards For Deployment policy supports volunteers and paid employees to follow an agreed set of standards, to create a safer culture and environment within paddlesport. It has been developed with colleagues from Paddle Scotland, Paddle Northern Ireland and Canoe Wales to support and guide affiliated clubs and national association committees to have the required training and qualifications in place for their volunteer workforce. The scope of the policy covers a variety of roles including, committee members, volunteers, formal instructing, coaching, leading, and those organising and supervising events and trips.Click on the following links and you will be taken you to the relevant resource
