Dear Mr Sutcliffe,
Since the judo UKCC has been endorsed, and your DCMS policy official for sports coaching Mr Burles was unable to give me any information on the promised provision of access to the qualification for non-BJA members, I wrote to sports coach UK.
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I asked sports coach UK what provision had been made for non-BJA people to gain the UKCC. Martin Crick, Coach Education Manager replied;
“The qualification specification for the Judo level 1 states that candidates must hold a BJA grade 4th kyu or BJA recognised equivalent, for level 2 a BJA grade 1st kyu or BJA recognised equivalent.”
I subsequently asked what they meant by, “BJA recognised equivalent” Martin replied; |

UPROAR WITHIN
NATIONAL GOVERNING BODY FOR JUDO
A flood of complaints from BJA rank and file as to the way members are being treated by BJA management has seen a new thread on the BJA website record more than 5000 viewings on this heated matter. The views, concerns, dissatisfaction and anger of BJA members is expressed in more than 350 posts. Below are extracts from a handful of these posts.
BJA is cautioned by members; “The board (BJA) may have a peasants revolt on their hands if they're not careful.” |

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000, REQUEST

From John Goldman:-
Below is my last letter to the Minister's office regarding the UKCC. I had previously asked the same question re non-NGB people obtaining a UKCC to which Mr Burles, DCMS Sports Policy Official replied, "I would suggest that you explore these issues with the British Judo Association in the first instance." Hence I have now asked the same question quoting the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to which Mr Burles has replied, "I will deal with your request by 26 March". No doubt it will be another evasive reply.

Mr R Burles,
Policy Official

February 23 2008
Dear Mr Burles
On January 23 2008 levels 1 and 2 judo UKCC were endorsed.
In March 2007 the then Minister for Sport Richard Caborn announced; “Access to UKCC qualifications is not dependent on membership of a specified Governing Body.” In June 2007, then Prime Minister Tony Blair said; “Our position is clear. UKCC qualifications must be accessible to all.”
Under the 2000 Freedom of Information Act can you please supply the following information:
- Has provision been made for non-NGB judo people to gain the judo UKCC?
- If provisions have been made what are they?
Yours sincerely,
John Goldman

Here is my latest reply to DCMS policy official Robert Burles. If you want to put it on your site fine.
Good wishes
John
Dear Mr Burles,
Thank you for your email earlier today.
Here again you are playing games.
In an earlier correspondence you write; 'I am the 'policy official with responsibility for sports coaching within DCMS'.
Why then can you not answer the simple question I put to you, February 11 2008, following the announcement that the judo UKCC levels 1 and 2 have been end endorsed?
My question was and remains;
'Can you tell me how individual non-NGB judo people can gain these qualifications?'
The previous Minister for Sport Richard Caborn MP, and Prime Minister of the time Tony Blair, confirmed that a judo UKCC, when endorsed, will be available to all, in or out of an NGB.
If provision has been made, as promised, you, in your position, must know.
I repeat, ' Can YOU tell me how individual non-NGB people can gain these qualifications?
If no provision has been made then please say so.
Yours sincerely,
John Goldman
