All children should be able to enjoy physical activiy whatever their circumstances or abilities, and for many this opportunity is only available through school.
For those children one demonstrate abilities or telents within the physical education curriculum and in school sporting activities, strong links into community and club sport should support their development into competitive and/or elite sport.

Guidance for community sports organisations
The Child Protection in Sport Unit has supported the development of guidance and practical assistance for those involved in the commissioning and delivery of high quality alternative sporting activities within the community, provided by organisations that operate outside of the NGB.
It has also been involved in the development of Clubmark, a club accreditation minimum operating standards framework.
The guidance: High quality community sport for young people: operational standards and guidance for organisations who do not have a recognised club accreditation standard (PDF, 792KB) provides commissioning organisations with a framework to support them in confirming those providers who are in a position to provide a quality sporting experience for young people. It aims to ensure that children and young people have access to a wide range of attractive and alternative sporting activities within a safe and quality environment.
Developed in partnership with a wide range of partner organisations, the guidance has considered the existing quality marks and minimum operating standards within the sport sector and created a framework that is operable within the youth sector as well as other providers of sporting activity outside of the current NGB framework.
