Cycling Ireland Launch Club Self-Assessment Tool Kit
Cycling Ireland is delighted to announce the launch of a new Club Self-Assessment Tool Kit System aimed to support the continued development of cycling clubs in Ireland.
The new system will give clubs with a comprehensive self-assessment tool kit that will provide a tailored club development action plan as well as an assessment report and a host of resources.
The system's launch highlight's Cycling Ireland's continued support to affiliated clubs and aims to nurture clubs' development for now and for the future. Analytics and reports on the system will also allow Cycling Ireland to identify areas within club development that we can further support.
The club self-assessment system has nine sections for clubs to complete a self-assessment:
· Section 1 Governance.
· Section 2 Planning.
· Section 3 Finance.
· Section 4 Cycling Club Operations.
· Section 5 Marketing & Communications.
· Section 6 Equipment.
· Section 7 Coaches, Safeguarding & Cycling Club Officials.
· Section 8 Cycling Pathway.
· Section 9 Inclusivity, Equity & Diversity.
When the self-assessment is completed, the system will generate a unique assessment report and an editable club development action plan and will provide clubs with support resources and information for each section.

The detailed assessment report and editable club development action plan can be updated, changed or amended anytime and will help clubs to identify development needs and plan for the future to meet these needs.
