Child Wellbeing and Protection Officer (CWPO) Training

We have identified a key area that requires updating for a significant number of our member clubs.  To rectify this we will conduct three Child Wellbeing and Protection Officer (CWPO) workshops.  The training is suitable for individuals responsible for leading their club or organisation in the wellbeing and protection of children and young people. Learners will have the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills to manage concerns through the use of interactive case studies and group work.

Suitable for: Child Wellbeing and Protection Officers or those in a similar role who are aged 18+ yrs.

Prerequisites:  Learners must have completed both modules 1 & 2 of the Child Wellbeing & Protecting Children in Sport (CWPS) within the last 3 years.

Workshop aims:

  • To provide participants with the opportunity to further develop skills in fulfilling their role as Child Protection Officer
  • To provide the opportunity for Child Protection Officers to explore, in more detail, the type of well-being and protection concerns that may arise for children and young people within, or outwith, the SGB, club environment and how to respond effectively
  • To help SGB/clubs implement practices and procedures to keep children and young people safe.

Changes required by Medical Commission

By

Dear Members,

After the recent Boxing Scotland Medical Commission meeting, new direction has been taken by Boxing Scotland on recommendations from the Medical Commission and there are a couple of updates for the membership to be aware of.

Boxer Medicals

  1. As we move towards the new season boxers that have been active within the last 12 months will not require a new medical when re-registering for the new season.

Only boxers new to registration and those that weren’t active in the last 12 months will require a new medical before Registering or re-registering.

Sparring

  1. Sparring will only be permitted between individuals that have received medicals and are registered with Boxing Scotland.  They must be in possession of a valid SME2 Boxers record card.  Boxing Scotland membership insurance will only cover those that meet this requirement.

      Affiliate Membership

  1. Affiliate members are anyone taking part in Boxing related activity and have signed up to the boxing Scotland membership via the website.    It will cover non-registered individuals for boxing-related activity NOT SPARRING.

Anyone training with your club that has not signed up to the Boxing Scotland membership scheme should be made aware they are not covered under your club’s Boxing Scotland insurance.  It is the responsibility of the club to ensure you have adequate insurance to cover for non-Boxing Scotland members. There is a £5 annual fee for these details can be found on the membership area of the Boxing Scotland Website

Pre-active readiness questionaries (PARQs)

  1. Clubs are reminded that in order to ensure insurances are valid, anyone taking part in physical activity should complete the appropriate PARQ prior to starting training at the club.  PARQs must be completed annually before individuals start to train at your club.

Regards,

Boxing Scotland
