Junior clubs face unique pressures: paper consent forms that get lost, medical records not accessible bankside, DBS tracking on spreadsheets with no expiry alerts, and photo permission chaos across multiple platforms. One safeguarding slip can end a club. You need a system built specifically for working with young people.
ClubNest provides a complete digital safeguarding suite — DBS tracking, consent forms, medical notes, emergency contacts, photo permissions and incident logging. Everything in one place, accessible to authorised staff bankside, and exportable for inspections. No more paper folders. No more guesswork.
Parents manage multiple children from one account — updating details, signing consents, providing medical information, receiving communications and viewing session schedules. They feel confident knowing their child's information is secure, accessible and professionally managed.
2.5% of every transaction goes back to junior angling — directly funding programmes like yours. That's 50% of our entire fee reinvested into grassroots coaching, tackle grants and venue access. Your club isn't just running sessions — it's part of a movement growing the sport.
