Safeguarding Updates

Posted on 27/10/202105/06/2023 By Anthony Brand

UKA have announced changes regarding the renewal of Coach Licences, primarily in relation to Safeguarding.

When any coach renews their coaching licence, they will now be required to complete the UKA Safeguarding course and this will be the only Safeguarding course they will accept.

The course is a self-paced online course and costs £10, renewable each time you renew your Licence.

Please note, this change does not come into effect until your existing licence is up for renewal. No action is required until this point.

Unofficially, this will also become a condition for Officials looking to renew their licence from April, although this is yet to be confirmed.

Please help our sport!

Without enough qualified coaches, the success of the last few years cannot be repeated or improved upon.

A new generation is required to assist with the nurture our young people, to guide our current runners, throwers and jumpers and advise mature athletes returning or trying the sport for the first time.

This November Saturday 26^th & Sunday 27^th The IOMAA is staging a course facilitated by England Athletics to help you become an Assistant Coach, the first rung on the ladder to gaining your Coach Award.

It is open for all people over the age of 16.

The IOMAA is generously donating £100 towards the £245 fee and there is a further discount for being a club member.

If you are not a club member, please join one, as it will be cheaper than paying the extra £60.

Therefore please send a cheque to:

I would be grateful to receive your application at your earliest convenience as time is no longer on our side and the Isle of Man must display enough enthusiasm for England Athletics to run the course.
