Clubmark is a Sport England initiative that provides a 'kitemark' of quality for sports clubs. Its purpose is to identify and acknowledge those clubs that have shown that they are properly and efficiently managed, that provide a safe environment for young players to learn and enjoy their sport, and that have a high standard of equity and ethics towards all members.
Clubs that have gained Sport England Clubmark status are therefore nationally recognised as being run in a safe, effective and child-friendly manner. Cound CC was awarded Clubmark status on 15th October 2008.

| How is Clubmark status achieved? |
| Clubs must meet minimum criteria in the following categories: - child protection - coaching and competition - sports equity and ethics - club management. |
| Why is Clubmark important? |
| As well as ensuring that the latest child protection standards are being met, each club that gains accreditation will: - be better organised as a club - be networked into local and national sports organisations that can provide further support to Clubmark clubs - be promoted in their local community and on a national database - be better placed to succeed in any future funding applications |
