Cancelling Training

Purpose

To ensure there is a consistent approach to cancelling training

Careful consideration must be taken when cancelling training sessions. There are a range of factors that must be taken into account, though the ultimate decision must be on the safety of athletes and coaches as part of the clubs responsibilities to safeguarding.

Process:

1. A decision to cancel at least 90 minutes prior to the training session on the day of training.

2. Announcements must be made immediately in the Clubs WhatsApp community.

3. If possible, a notification via the England Athletics portal via email to all members should be sent.

4. Coaches must also check if there are any athletes due for taster sessions and they must be contacted directly as they will not receive Whatsapp Community announcements.

5. If a decision is taken after 1700, at least one coach must be at the track to inform members in person.
