Essential Criteria for Sports Clubs

Asthma Policy

Your club has a routinely reviewed policy or procedure for the management of asthma.

Training

80% of your coaches and trainers (paid/unpaid) have completed the Activ8 for Asthma ‘Managing Asthma in Sport’ coaching course online or in-person.

Asthma Action Kit

Your club has access to an Asthma Action Kit, containing:

• Reliever Medication (e.g. Ventolin, Asmol)
• Two spacers (not previously used)
• Face mask if working with children under 5
• Asthma First Aid instructions
• Reliever Use Log

Asthma Action Kits are accessible to all staff and include in-date medication.

Asthma Action Plans

Written Asthma Action Plans are collected for each child with asthma and kept in a central location.

Asthma Information

Asthma First Aid incidents are recorded, reviewed and reported to the child’s parents/carers as a matter of priority.

Self-Management

Where appropriate, children with asthma are encouraged to recognise their symptoms and communicate any breathing difficulties to staff.
