STANDARDS FOR DEPLOYMENT

Paddle UK's Standards for Deployment policy supports volunteers and paid employees to follow an agreed set of standards to create a safer culture and environment within paddlesport.

It has been developed in partnership with Paddle Scotland, Paddle Northern Ireland and Paddle Cymru to support and guide affiliated clubs and national association committees to have the required training and qualifications in place for their volunteer workforce.

The scope of the policy covers a variety of roles including, committee members, volunteers, formal instructing, coaching, leading, and those organising and supervising events and trips.

On our Policies page, you can find the Standards for Deployment policy and a dedicated commercial providers version, supporting documents and further training opportunities. At the base of this page you can find the Standards for Deployment FAQs.
