It is the policy of the WCA to coordinate and deliver, develop
and evaluate the BCU coaching scheme in Wales. The scheme should provide a
professional service appropriate to the commercial, educational and voluntary
sectors with an acknowledgement to the duty of care that the scheme must provide
to members and non-members who participate in canoeing.
Coaching development should provide a framework to identify and
train potential coaches and educate and update existing coaches so that they can
fulfil their potential and responsibilities within the coaching scheme, within
the demands of Health and Safety and the code of ethics prescribed by the Board.
