The scheme works as a partnership between the East Riding Council for Voluntary Youth Services (Erycvs) who co-ordinate Ercas Level 1 and the East Riding Sport and Play Development Service who administer Ercas Levels 2 and 3.
The aim of the scheme is to promote a quality club infrastructure focusing on key areas such as child protection and implementing health and safety measures. A further requirement for all junior clubs is to have qualified coaches and CRB police cleared volunteers.
