Chess Scotland Coaches and Chaperons

These lists of Chess Coaches and Chaperons registered with Chess Scotland, give details of people who have been the subject of enhanced disclosure through the Central Registered Body in Scotland (CRBS) and are published in pursuance of the Child Protection Policy, of Chess Scotland (CS).

Coaches have a national grading and are members of CS. Chaperons may not have a national grading and unless they appear on the list of coaches are not registered to coach but to escort and chaperon children and vulnerable people. Coaches may also act as chaperons. It is anticipated that parents and others will place increasing reliance on the lists as a quick way to identify who may be suitable to coach or escort children and/or vulnerable adults. The lists will be particularly useful where parents do not already know the individual coaches or chaperons or wish to confirm that a person is registered with CS.

While there is no form of competency test we recognize that relatively weak players can make a huge contribution to chess by having a good manner in dealing with children whereas stronger players have an irreplaceable role in the advanced development of youngsters and adults. We have decided to publish the grade of each coach for this reason.

• It is worth noting that anyone not on the list but offering chess coaching does not have CS registration.
  
• Obtaining Registered Coach status will not have any impact on the commercial relationship between coach and customer. That remains purely a matter for the individuals concerned.

Full details of the various policy documents in respect of Child Protection which have been registered with the relevant authority, CRBS, together with the explanation of the underlying thinking are published on the CS website.
