Croquet England Governance and Administration Documents

This page provides a central location for Croquet England Associates to access all documentation relating to the governance and administration of the organisation.

The primary document that sets out the governance of Croquet England is the Constitution of Croquet England. Documents relating to governance can be found on the Croquet England public website at Governance Matters and documents relating to welfare and safeguarding are available at Welfare Matters.

Documents issued by the Board of Trustees or by the Executive and its committees are to be categorised following a standardised approach, which is:

• Board of Trustees:
  • Strategy Papers: Issued at the end of a strategic planning process, a Strategy Paper will set out broad actions that Croquet England will take to attain one or more objectives set by the Trustees; providing a general direction to achieve a desired future state.
  • Policies: Set out the guiding principles of the governance and administration of Croquet England and which are required to delivery of the Strategies of the Trustees. All policies have to be approved by the Board of Trustees.
  • Reports: From a variety of sources from within Croquet England or from an outside body.
• Executive and Committees:
  • Procedures: Set out the detailed actions required to comply with, and to deliver, a Policy. A Procedure may be created by a member of the Executive or by an Executive committee but all must be approved by the Executive.
  • Guidance: To inform subscribers and to set out in detail how to comply with Procedures. Guidance documents may be created by a member of the Executive or by a committee.
  • Forms: Created by committees or other individual roles within Croquet England.

There may still be a few documents that do not follow the new approach and/or have not yet been revised to reflect the transition from the Croquet Association to Croquet England. This will be corrected over time. Meanwhile, in the table that follows, hyperlinks are used to categorise documents into one of the six document types.

The order of the rows in this table is alphabetical and without any significance.
