Here you will find any important documents that you may need throughout the season.
General Documents
One form that is an essential for ALL individuals, club members, volunteers and interns, is our Code of Conduct. This will have to be read through, and agreed to, before you sign up for any opportunity with Northumbria Sport. It is linked below for you to refer back too:
As a University, we work closely with UKAD to deliver a clean sport programme across all opportunities. Follow this link for more information on our committed Clean Sport and Anti Doping policy:
The next two forms are relevent for all clubs - our Sponsorship and Social Media Guidelines.
Creating engaging and professional socials for your club can really help with building a presence and attracting new members, along with an easy way of keeping followers (and Northumbria Sport) up to date with everything you offer as a club:
The following Sponsorship guidlines explain everything that you will need to attract sponsorship to your club. Sponsorship can be attained for things such as leisure kit for your members and any social connections with businesses that you feel will benefit your club.
Please note, the University has partnered with New Balance for BUCS weekly playing kit this year, meaning that teams will not be able to get any form of sponsorship on playing kit (See kit tab for more information).
The following guidelines include advice on businesses that are appropriate, logo and branding guidelines for any kit requests and contact details for apporval of potential sponsors:
Once you have found an appropriate sponsor, you will have to submit a Sponsorship Request Form and a Sponsorship Agreement Form to your Club Development Officer, who will then forward them to be approved by Northumbria Sport. Please note that the request form has to be approved before an agreement can be drafted. The forms are linked below:
Incident and Injury Forms
It is essential that all injuries, incidents and significant near misses are reported to Northumbria Sport by the Team Captain (or other representative). For any incidents at Sport Central or Coach Lane, please notify a member of facility staff who will be able to complete an Incident Report form with you on site. For any incidents at external facilities, please complete the Incident Report Form document (linked below) in full and email this to our H&S lead jamie.brockett@northumbria.ac.uk
You must ensure all relevant information is captured, including the key personal details for the person who has been injured. This is crucial to allow the University H&S team to follow up where required. Please speak to your coaches and get in touch with Northumbria Sport staff if you have any queries about submitting injury and incident forms. We understand that this could be a difficult situation - we are here to support you.
In the event that an injury is serious enough to require a hospital visit, please make sure another member of the club accompanies the injured student to the hospital. This should ideally be a senior committee member or the lead coach. In the event that the student needs to stay overnight, please call the University Security team (0191 227 3999) to notify them. You will need the injured student's name and student number to hand. Security can also help with onward travel for the individual who travelled to the hospital with the injured student, if required.
If you have any questions on the above, please contact your Club Development Officer (Jade Featherstone or Keir Tattersdill) in the first instance.
