Suitability Vetting Now Live in Regulation Ready

Hi there,

We’ve just released a major update to help clubs better manage instructor compliance: Suitability Vetting is now live in your Account Verification dashboard inside MyBMABA.

While we’ve tracked suitability internally since 2021, this is the first time it’s been fully visible, editable, and centralised—giving you complete control.

It now affects:

  • Regulation Ready completion scores
  • ✅ The National Coaching Register (public-facing profiles)
  • All account verification checks
  • Account completion percentages
  • 🔜 Club Colours (coming soon)

You can now clearly define for each team member:

  • Who’s actively teaching
  • Who isn’t currently teaching
  • Who is working with adults only

Your compliance requirements will automatically adapt. That means no more penalties for instructors or volunteers who aren’t in regulated roles.

This is especially important for clubs previously blocked by child-specific safeguarding rules. With Suitability Vetting, you can now:

  • Mark team members as Not Currently Teaching
  • Exclude adult-only roles from child-related compliance
  • Phase in checks and training without damaging your club’s standing

This also lays the groundwork for a major change to Club Colours, which will soon be more accessible and representative of real-world teaching roles.

We have huge news coming for Club Colours – our biggest step forward in national recognition since 2020. Stay tuned!
