How It Works

Your step-by-step guide to becoming a trusted, accredited provider.

Step 1

Create Your Account & Upload Documents

Start by signing up for a Standard or Premium account. Our secure, intuitive dashboard will then guide you through uploading the required documents. We've made the process as simple as possible—just drag and drop your files into the designated areas.

What you'll need:

  • A valid DBS certificate for all relevant staff.
  • Proof of Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance.
  • Copies of relevant coaching qualifications (e.g., National Governing Body awards).
  • Your organisation's Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.
  • A documented Emergency Action Plan.

Step 2

Our Team Reviews & Verifies

Once your documents are submitted, our expert review team gets to work. We don't just tick boxes; we meticulously check each document to ensure it meets our high standards for safety, validity, and compliance. We record the DBS level and date reviewed, check policy content, and confirm qualifications are appropriate.

If we spot any issues or have questions, we'll contact you directly via your dashboard with clear, actionable feedback. Premium members benefit from a priority review service.

Step 3

Receive Your Digital Badge & Profile

Congratulations! Once your documents are approved, your organisation is officially "Backed by the Badge." You will instantly receive your digital accreditation badge, complete with a unique verification ID and expiry date. This can be embedded directly onto your website, social media profiles, and email signatures.

Your public profile on our directory will also go live, making it easy for schools, professional clubs, and other partners to find and verify your accredited status.
