Club Handbook
The Club Handbook has been designed to provide clubs with an A to Z of everything that is required to continue to provide and develop a high quality service to young people. The Club Handbook includes everything from risk assessment and session planning to having the correct policies and procedures in place.
This guide is for:
-
People wanting to start a youth club
-
People wanting guidance on an existing youth club they run
-
People wanting more information on youth work and the running of a club
This handbook is a useful guide for anyone setting up or running a Boys & Girls Clubs of Wales (BGC Wales) youth or sports club. The handbook is split into 6 sections which are this introduction, an overview of youth work, safeguarding, management of the club, activity cards and an appendix containing editable policies, procedures and other useful templates such as risk assessments. The handbook will be regularly updated on bgc.wales to provide the most up to date and relevant information so keep returning to this.
