FAQs – Membership Renewal

Q. Why are we changing the renewal date?
A. We are changing the renewal date as having the date as 1st Jan does not work very well as the ski season has already started. This will also bring us in line with Scotland. The longer term aim is to bring our charges in line with each other as well.

Q. Why are we not being charged at a pro rata rate as it is only for ten months?
A. There are fixed costs that the office has, so we can’t just reduce the rate exactly to a pro rata amount. We have also taken out the initial performer registration and the BASS fee. If you choose to pay by direct debit then you will get a discount of £3 for performers, ASCL’s and £5 for instructors and coaches. The Board feel this is still a very good rate, as the fees have only gone up by a maximum of £1 over the last 4 years which is way below inflation. This is at a time when overall costs are increasing.

Q. Why has the BASS fee been removed?
A. This £5 fee has been removed for Alpine Performers as it caused confusion for Head office and members. Not everyone realised what it was for and if they did not tick the correct box and wanted to race on snow it caused lots of issues. It will now be a lot easier as athletes will be put on the BASS list automatically when they register.

Q. How do I do the direct debit payment?
A. You still need to renew on line and update your information plus check it is correct. When it comes to the payment section click on the “direct debit” button and it will give you the appropriate discount. Click on the direct debit form and print this off. Fill it in and send it to Head office with a copy of your receipt for processing.

Q. Can I still pay by cheque?
A. Yes you can still pay by cheque. Go to the online system and update your information and renew your membership. When you come to the payment page click on the “cheque” button. Print off the receipt and send it into the office with a cheque for the correct amount. The office will then process your renewal.

Q. Who does the change of date apply to?
A. This change applies to all registered members in all disciplines. Instructors, Coaches, Tutors, ASCL’s and performers.

Q. Do I have to renew online?
A. We are trying to get everyone to renew on line as this helps Snowsport England to be more efficient. We are happy to take calls and help if anyone has any problems. If you are unable to renew on line please contact Head office for further assistance.

If there are any other questions then please email them to Tim@snowsportengland.org.uk for reply and add them to our faq’s

What is a CRB Disclosure?

A CRB Disclosure is a document that contains information held by police and government department that can be used by employers and voluntary organisations to make recruitment decisions.

A CRB Disclosure offers Snowsport and all those involved in the sport the means to check the background of applicants to ensure that they do not have a history that would make them unsuitable for posts.

A CRB Disclosure will provide details of a person’s criminal record including convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings held on the Police National Computer. It will also contain details from lists held by the Department of Health and Department for Education and Skills.

How do I apply for a Disclosure?
Snowsport England undertakes the CRB Disclosures as a registered body.
Each club has a nominated representative who is able to obtain CRB forms from Snowsport England.
Once you have received your form follow the instructions, showing your identification to your club representative and then returning the completed form to the Snowsport England.

What sort of Disclosure do I need?
Snowsport England only conducts Enhanced Disclosures. An Enhanced Disclosure includes an additional check against local Police Forces.
Local police records may contain additional information that might be relevant to the position sought.

What information will I be required to show and include on my Disclosure form?
In completing the form you are required to include:

· Your full name, and any other name that you may have been known by

· Details of addresses you have lived at

· Your date and place of birth

· Your national insurance number

· In addition you will be required to provide personal identification documents including items such as your passport and/or driving licence

The identification will be seen by your club representative and returned to you. The club representative will then acknowledge on your Disclosure form that they have seen your identification and send the form back to Snowsport England for processing.

Who will receive my Disclosure?

You (the applicant) will receive your Disclosure form in the post once the check has been completed.

The turn around time for CRB Disclosures to be returned is around is 6-8 weeks although some can be shorter as well as considerably longer.

A copy of your CRB Disclosures will also be returned to Snowsport England’s Lead Child Protection Officer. The Club will NOT receive a copy of your Disclosure although they are advised to ask to see your completed Disclosure.

Can I challenge the information on my Disclosure?

Yes, if you think that any information on your Disclosure is incorrect please contact the CRB Dispute Line on 08709090778

You should also contact Snowsport England Lead Child Protection Officer to inform them which aspect of your Disclosure you are disputing.

How long will my Disclosure be valid?

A Disclosure is only valid on the day that it is issued. However if you remain employed, or in a permanent role with the same club or organisation, then you may not need to undergo another CRB check for 3 years. If however, you move role club, or organisation you may well be required to complete another CRB Disclosure.

Snowsport England normally requires its staff/volunteers/officials to agree to undergo an enhanced disclosure every three years.

I already have an Enhanced check from another organization. Do I need to complete another Check?

The risks are that someone produces a Disclosure with no convictions of any relevance even though they are still a risk to children, because additional information will not be shown

Snowsport England is also aware that some bodies have not completed identity checks in line with recommendations and that there is also the possibility of falsified Disclosures.

Most organisations, including sports bodies and social services departments in local authorities, will only accept their own Disclosure because of the risks described above.

Snowsport England recognises that some people already have Disclosures but since March 1st 2005, following advice from the Home Office and the Criminal Records Bureau, Snowsport England will no longer accept Disclosures from any organisation other than Snowsport England.

What colour pen should I use?

You must use a black biro only. Other black pens (eg. felt pens) will be rejected by CRB.
