Training Sessions
The Isle of Wight Hockey Club will endeavor to provide Level 2 coaches for all club training sessions, however, this may not always be possible. In the event that one is not available, players may play practice matches and small sided games ONLY without any coaching element involved. This is due to insurance regulations and rules set by the game’s national governing body; England Hockey (as shown at the bottom of the page).
The Isle of Wight Hockey Club cannot be held liable for any accidents, injuries, loss or damage caused whilst a Level 2 coach is not present at these sessions. Anyone who undertakes any coaching at these unsupervised sessions does so at their own risk.
All members will be advised of this situation and asked to sign a consent form in agreement. Anyone aged under 18 will be required to present a signed consent from their parent or guardian. Non members will not be allowed to take part in these sessions.
The club apologies should this situation arise at any point during the season, but it has a duty to ensure the safety of its members and it must follow insurance policies and national guidelines.
Advice from England Hockey
England Hockey strongly recommends that all coaches are insured as an individual or through a club. Insurance should reflect the activities you undertake as a coach within the guidance of your level of qualification or accreditation. It is also recommended that no coach except those accredited at UKCC Level 2, EH Sessional coach or EH Coach or above, should coach independently i.e. unsupervised. A Level 1 coach or coach who has attended a GB Coaching Club workshop or Introduction to Hockey Coaching should continue to provide instruction under the supervision of a Level 2, EH Sessional Coach, EH Coach or above and can organise and supervise game play. More information can be found on the England Hockey website. Safeguarding of Children and Vulnerable Adults is of key importance. Regrettably, incidents of abuse, emotional, physical, sexual or neglect and bullying are occurring within the world of sport and Insurers generally have been reviewing their position on the extent of cover available to organisations in respect of child abuse. In order to continue providing clubs and associations with abuse cover you must commit to following good practice by signing up to England Hockey’s ‘Safeguarding and Protecting Young people in Hockey Policy and Procedures’. Any clubs or associations affiliating to England Hockey are agreeing to follow these policies and procedures.
