Our aim has been to make this directory
easy to use by grouping activities together
and listing them alphabetically.
We have also provided as much information
as possible about each activity or club –
including location, contact details, when it
takes place, age group and cost. To help
you find out how accessible each club is and
what facilities they provide, we’ve created
symbols shown in the ‘Key to Facilities’ box
below. The symbols are used in each club’s
listing to show what they offer.
If you are interested in taking part in any
of these activities, please contact the club
directly before attending for the first time.
Not only does this give you the opportunity
to find out more, but it ensures that nothing
has changed since their details were printed.
If you have any other queries, please contact
us at the Sports Partnership Herefordshire
and Worcestershire office on 01905 855498
or email [email protected].
Please note: It is recommended good
practice that clubs and organisations, as a
minimum standard, have basic first aid and
safeguarding procedures. To find out more
about what to look for in a club, please see
pages 34/35 for more details.

Helping Keep Your Child Safe.
As a parent or carer you play an important
role in protecting your child and helping
them get the best from their activities.
We want to ensure that all children have
the best possible experience and we want
to help you to make the right decisions about
where your child takes part in activities and
how to ensure their safety. When choosing
from the many activities available in local
communities there are a number of
questions you could ask and things to look
for in relation to the safety of your child.
This includes the organisations commitment
to good practice and child protection.
Child Protection Policy.
A good organisation will welcome questions
about its activities and safety. It should have
a Child Protection Policy and you should
be told what to do if your child has concerns.
Ask about how the organisation promotes
the welfare of children (this can include
taking a register, first aid provision, number
of children to the number of staff ratio
and signing children in and out).
Criminal Records Bureau Check.
You need to be sure that all staff and
volunteers working with your child are
suitable. Ask the club if it conducts
enhanced level CRB (Criminal Records
Bureau) checks on staff and helpers.
Training and Education.
Appropriate training and education ensures
that everyone working with your child is
aware of how to make activities enjoyable.
34 www.morethansport.com
Ask if staff and helpers have undertaken
appropriate training through a recognised
governing body.
Organisation Accreditation.
Find out whether the organisation has a
recognised accreditation award. This shows
that it has achieved a recognised minimum
operating standard that ensures it provides
a good experience for children.
Worcestershire Safeguarding
Children Board.
The Worcestershire Safeguarding
Children Board (WSCB) consists of senior
representatives of the main agencies which
have a responsibility to safeguard children.
It is a forum for establishing and guiding
the services in Worcestershire to safeguard
and promote the well-being of children.
Inter-agency working is at the heart of
safeguarding and protecting children and
the WSCB works to ensure that all the
agencies communicate with one another
in the interests of the child.
For further information visit their website,
www.worcestershiresafeguarding.org.uk
where you’ll also find links to other
useful websites.
If you have worries about possible abuse
or neglect of a child or young person,
please don’t keep it to yourself.
Please telephone Children’s Services
on 0845 607 2000, text 07939 572850
