Updated Guidance Levels 0 - 4 INTRODUCTION The original document was approved on 10th July 2020 by the Scottish Government and sportscotland. The document has been updated on 12th March 2021. Please make sure you are aware of which Level the Local Authority you currently reside in is operating under. Clubs may also wish to view the sportscotland support documents SGBs, clubs and participants should be aware that the current restrictions do not mean that all facilities/ venues will be open. Owners and operators will require time to consider all the implications of opening facilities/venues and put plans in place to re-engage staff and to set up operations that ensure the safety of participants, staff and volunteers. This is a difficult time for everyone so please be patient This document is intended as a guide to all affiliated Scottish Archery clubs and their affiliated members as to the correct and most effective safety measures for clubs and individuals as opportunities to increase exercise gradually begin to return. The guidance we have published is in line with the new Scottish Government Strategic Framework updated February 2021. This document interprets the guidance for these levels. Guidelines will be updated as we progress through the pandemic. Clubs and Archers must ensure that all activity is consistent with current Scottish Government guidance on health, physical distancing and hygiene – club committees will also need to make sure that the club members, facility and participants are made aware and can adapt to changes in guidance at short notice. Information on Scottish Government’s approach to managing covid-19 is available here. Levels 0 - 4 For Scottish Archery clubs, the guidance from Scottish Government and therefore the guidance within this document should be read in conjunction with the Archery GB rules of shooting. Where this document differs from the Archery GB guidance, the Scottish Archery levels 0 - 4 guidance should be used to make your decision. With regard to range preparation and conducting risk assessment and other matters relating to the rules of shooting, we have adopted similar measures to those from Archery GB. Scottish Archery appreciates this may cause confusion however sport in Scotland is a devolved matter under the Scotland Act 1998 and therefore we must follow the guidance of the Scottish Government. Where possible, we have adopted the Archery GB perspective particularly in line with modified rules of shooting. Comment from the Board of Scottish Archery As ever, the Board of Scottish Archery wishes to pass on its deepest thanks to all members who have been part of the keywork effort over the past few months and of course to everyone who has followed the guidance on movement and staying at home as well as all the previous guidance. As announced by government we are now working to a 5 level system. Scottish Archery are pleased to confirm our latest guidance as approved by Scottish Government and sportscotland. As expected the levels highlight significant change, particularly around group size and the nature of how adults and young people can conduct their physical activity. Please ensure you read the entire document before delivering in a club or coach capacity. As we pass a full 12 months of living with corona virus we understand how difficult it is for members and clubs to deliver in any way considered ‘normal’. With outdoor activity allowing larger group sizes and more traditional coaching, we hope this guidance is another step for clubs, coaches and members to continue returning to archery and the further easing of restrictions in some areas may allow more members to return to shooting. Levels 0 - 4 Our staff are still working as they have been throughout this entire lockdown period and continue to maintain our connections with clubs and members. Please do reach out to them with any queries as they are keen to help whatever the issue may be. We all look forward to seeing you soon, ideally on the shooting line or at another archery-focussed event.

  • BLM Statement Final Branded
    Sport and recreation sector commit to tackling inequality The appalling death of George Floyd, the global protests that have followed and the powerful message of the Black Lives Matter movement has made every section of society take notice and confront an ugly truth. Sport and recreation has an influential role to bring about meaningful change and this period has rightly led the sector to reflect, listen, question, learn and openly discuss how to take positive action. It is acknowledged that up to this point, we have not done enough. It is time to confront racism and inequality that exists across sport, from grassroots participation through to the boardroom. Research by the Sport and Recreation Alliance (2018) showed that four in ten (40%) of BAME participants have endured a negative experience in sport or physical activity settings, more than double that of white participants. A 2020 Sport England report demonstrates that just over 50% of black people in England meet the recommended levels of physical activity each week. The Diversity in Sport Governance report (2018/19) identified there is only 5% BAME board representation across Sport England and UK Sport funded organisations. Constructive work has already been started to address a number of these problems including a committed effort to increase boardroom diversity, additional funding to tackle inequality and an array of inspiring inclusiveness projects from across the sport and recreation sector. This can only be seen as the start. Systemic change must be made at all levels so that we can become truly reflective of our wonderfully diverse society. We can no longer rely on black role models at the elite level speaking out, we must join together to become better and to support every member of the sport and recreation community.

  • JSP 660 Sport in the UK Armed Forces Part 1
    JSP 660 Sport in the UK Armed Forces Part 1: Directive JSP 660 Pt 1 (V2.2 Oct 19) Foreword People lie at the heart of operational capability; attracting and retaining the right numbers of capable, motivated individuals to deliver Defence outputs is critical. This is dependent upon maintaining a credible and realistic offer that earns and retains the trust of people in Defence. In order to achieve this, all personnel must be confident that, not only will they be treated fairly, but also that their families will be treated properly and that Service veterans and their dependants will be respected and appropriately supported. Sport makes a significant contribution to the delivery of operational capability; indeed it is a core activity in the UK Armed Forces. I am therefore most eager to encourage the active participation of all ranks at all levels of sport. I am aware that the majority of sport is organised by Service personnel on a voluntary basis; knowledge of, and access to, the necessary regulation of activities can be difficult. This important document brings together the policies for, and detailed guidance on, the conduct of sport in the UK Armed Forces. I commend it to all your staff involved in sporting activity and in particular to your sports association officials who deliver sport at and above unit level. Lt Gen Richard Nugee Chief of Defence People Defence Authority for People i JSP 660 Pt 1 (V2.2 Oct 19) Preface How to use this JSP 1. JSP 660 is intended as a statement of policy on the conduct of sport in the UK Armed Forces.

  • Sport-And-Physical-A
    Monday 21st September 2020 Dear Prime Minister, Today we are calling on you to commit to positioning sport and physical activity at the heart of our nation’s post-Covid renewal. This appeal comes from a broad range of organisations that include governing bodies and those who represent hundreds of thousands of sports clubs and facilities. Our sports engage millions of children, young people, and adults every year. Our sector drives economic prosperity and social change in the UK, contributing over £16bn to the UK economy and employing more than 600,000 people. A report published by Sport England and Sheffield Hallam University this month showed that every £1 spent on community sport and physical activity generates nearly £4 for the English economy, providing an annual contribution of more than £85bn, with a social value – including physical and mental health and wellbeing, individual and community development – of more than £72bn. Grassroots sport, fitness, and wider recreational activity is proven to improve physical, mental, and social wellbeing. This makes our sector an essential service as our nation recovers from the damage caused by Covid-19. Prime Minister – you’ve long been a champion of the benefits of a physically active lifestyle and we were heartened to hear that commitment renewed this summer with the launch of the Government’s obesity strategy. Our combined sector is delighted to be showcasing its reach into the heart of communities this week as part of the inaugural Great British Week of Sport. However, we are united in our concern that at a time when our role should be central to the nation’s recovery, the future of the sector is perilous.
