Clubmark is Sport England’s cross-sport quality accreditation for clubs with junior sections. The club has Clubmark accreditation, by demonstrating its commitment to observing best practice in child protection, coaching and competition, equity and club management.

For parents or young footballers, it provides confidence to know that your local football club is safe, well-managed and an exciting place to be.

All Walney Island F.C. qualified coaches meet the criteria necessarily outlined in the requirements of Clubmark. For example they will have taken a course in safeguarding and protecting children, they will have a valid first aid certificate and have an enhanced disclosure from the criminal records bureau.
