Club admin for current YAC leaders
This section of the website includes information about how to run your YAC, planning safe activities, safeguarding children and how to support new volunteers.
You will also find all the guidance documents, including polices and training resources here, and the associated paperwork and templates.
Please be aware that the guidance in this area of the website is principally for the use of YAC volunteers at branches which have completed YAC’s formal application procedure. Only branches which have done so and are in possession of a copy of YAC’s current insurance policy are covered by YAC insurance.
YAC Census 2026
In October 2026 we are running our annual YAC Census. Current branch leaders should visit this page to find out how to submit their census return and read our support documents.
Running your club
All of the essential information on running your YAC can be found on these pages; from advice on working with 8-16 year-olds to managing your membership and club finances.
Safeguarding children
The resources provided in this section will give you the information you need to adhere to the CBA safeguarding policies, and guidance on how to deal with a safeguarding incident or concern should it arise.
Planning and delivering safe sessions
On this page you will find the YAC Health and Safety Toolkit. It is split into different topics. Each topic provides an overview, with additional guidance and resources to provide more information where applicable.
Recruiting and supporting volunteers
We have plenty of guidance to support current YAC leaders with volunteer applications from new branch assistants and leaders.
YAC HQ can offer support with:
