SAFE & SUSTAINABLE SPORT HEALTH CHECK
New for 2025, the Safe and Sustainable Sport Health Check confirms minimum levels of recommended governance whilst also providing vital data and insight into the sport sector to benchmark progress and understand more about its future needs. Information will be used to improve the services and programmes offered to local sport organisations to support their growth and development.
Jersey Sport enforce these minimum operating and governance standards through this framework by providing local sport organisations with the support, resources, and training opportunities to achieve these recommended levels of good practice. We do this to drive continual improvement in governance and management standards for all local sport organisations and ensure we are diligent in funding safe and sustainable sport organisations.
REQUIREMENTS OF THE HEALTH CHECK
A traffic light system will be used to evaluate governance standards (Red, Amber, Green). Sport organisations must complete the annual Health Check, receiving an Amber or Green status to be eligible to apply to Jersey Sport funding opportunities in 2025.
Not-for-profit and charitable sport organisations* who achieve a Green Health Check status before 31 January 2025 will be receive a £500 reward in recognition of their strong governance standards. A Green level of Health Check governance also provides sport organisations with exclusive access to receiving funding from the Sports Access Programme and Jersey Sport’s Holiday Programmes.
*Regretfully, profit-making sport businesses are ineligible to receive financial reward for achieving a Green Health Check status, but will gain essential access to Jersey Sport’s funding opportunities in 2025.
Sports organisations who achieve an Amber Health check status will be eligible to access Jersey Sport funding opportunities but conditions of award will be placed on any successful applications to meet and exceed these requirements with help from the Jersey Sport Team.
Sport organisations with Red rated governance will be unable to access Jersey Sport funding opportunities until improvements are made. The Jersey Sport Team will work with these organisations to support them to achieve any required improvements.
