Achieving Compliance with the UK National Anti-Doping Agency

Achieving Compliance with the UK National Anti-Doping Policy

I am delighted to confirm that English Curling Association has now submitted evidence against all of the Assurance Framework requirements. This evidence has been assessed by UKAD and determined to meet the required standards.

The Assurance Framework is the primary mechanism through which NGBs demonstrate to UKAD their compliance with the UK National Anti-Doping Policy (Policy), a new version of which was launched in April 2021 by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

I would like to place on record UKAD’s thanks for all of English Curling Association’s efforts on your submission. We hope that the measures that you have put in place, and continue to work with, ensure that English Curling Association has robust anti-doping processes to help mitigate the risk of doping in your sport.

I would like to note that whilst English Curling Association has now provided evidence against the Assurance Framework, your organisation remains obliged to comply with the Policy at all times. The ongoing actions required to maintain your organisation’s compliance are set out here.

We encourage you to continue seeking ways to develop your anti-doping programme, including consideration of the “Going Above and Beyond” elements referenced in the Assurance Framework.

Thank you again for your efforts towards keeping sport clean in the UK and completing the Assurance Framework.
