A QCF Technical Update will be mailed to you this week, and a copy will also be included on the Sports Leaders UK website.
The Sports Leaders UK website is currently being updated to reflect all of the QCF changes, and a further QCF eZine will be sent to you next week, which will coincide with the new QCF information being available online.
Sports Leaders UK is now a recognised Component Awarding Body, meaning that its qualifications are eligible for use as Additional Specialist Learning in the Diploma. Please look out for the Sports Leaders UK qualifications in the next edition of the ASL catalogue, out in August 2010. |

The Teaching Values Through Leadership resource is recognised as part of the London 2012 Inspire programme, and has been granted the Inspire mark by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG).
