UK OVERNIGHT TRIPS
Legislation requires that when a club takes a gymnast(s) under the age of 18 years on a journey involving an overnight stay, the club must ensure that there is a designated trained person responsible for child protection on the trip.
To adhere to the CPSU child protection standards this person must not be related to, or in a relationship with, the coach attending the trip. The training for the designated person should be the BG Safeguarding and Protecting Children Awareness Course or a BG approved equivalent.
People who can be the designated person are:
• Judges
• Parent/volunteer
• Share a designated person with another club who are also attending
• NB: A Coach cannot be the designated Person if they are using their Coaching Award or related to the travelling Coach
All designated officers must also have current BG membership, BG DBS and Safeguarding Award in place prior to the trip taking place.
Below you’ll find a Check List to help guide you through what’s required by British Gymnastics to approve your request for Overnight UK Travel.
Form must be completed at least four weeks prior to your trip.
