BE Education & Training team statement about any ‘earning limit’ before a coach is no longer considered a volunteer. For BE, this is effectively as soon as a coach is in a paid role, they should be paying the higher rate. However for DBS: if a coach goes through their DBS check as a volunteer, and then later within the next 3 years (i.e. before their next DBS check) they start doing a paid role, they do not need to pay the higher rate until they complete a new check (presuming they are then still being paid).

Level 2 Coaches can take the Online Essentials Course, free
The Essentials course is an online learning course which can be completed by any level 2 coach. It takes roughly an hour to complete and all they need to do is email coaching@badmintonengland.co.uk to request login details. Once they have completed this we send them out the coach delivery notes in the post. It’s a very good course and really helps to standardise the beginners course as well as help to promote it. For the next 12 months BADMINTON England is giving a free racket to everyone who attends an essentials course (the 8 week course that the coach delivers not the online course the coach undertakes). All a centre needs to do is set up a course and then email BE the number of participates booked onto the course before the first day.

Keeping Safe From The Taxman
'The taxman (Revenue & Customs; HMRC; Small Business Compliance) are all under pressure to collect more tax! In the past, tax inspections have been been unlikely (under 2%) but doubled last year, and are likely to increase in future. Tax Inspectors were given new powers in 2009, including targets to meet. Small businesses are more likely to be inspected than professionals.' 'Sport is considered a priority for inspection.'
