Who Needs to Attend?

All sports need to have a Club Welfare Officer next year and the sport of Volleyball is no different. To take part in any volleyball events, clubs need to be registered with Volleyball England with one or two Club Welfare Officer’s who have completed a Time To Listen and a Safe Guarding Course.

Do Colleges and Universities need to have a CWO (Exeter Uni VC, Plymouth Uni, Plymouth Marjon VC, Exeter College VC)?

As Colleges and Universities compete in AoC Sport and BUCS competitions
respectively, they already have an over-arching welfare provision in place. However if
either compete in the EDVA, SWVA or VE leagues & competitions they will need to adhere to the club requirements.

How many CWO’s does my club need?

What happens if my club’s CWO leaves and needs to be replaced. Or if their
qualifications expire? The club will be required to complete a three-month waiver form which will give them a three-month window to appoint and upskill a new CWO. Hence it’s recommended by the EDVA committee that each club has two qualified CWO’s.

Adult Only Club

If you register your club as “Adult Only”, then you will be banned from having any U18 players in your team. The EDVA committee will look at amending the rules

Funding

As this is a legal requirement for your club to operate, it is anticipated that club’s will be sponsoring their candidates to attend the course. As above it is generally suggested that a club has a minimum of two trained CWO’s.
