SCUKO is affiliated to the Federation of English Karate Organisations International.

F.E.KO. acts as an umbrella organisation for over 70 Karate groups and 17,000 members in the UK covering all styles of Karate.

Membership of FEKO gives us the protection and a voice in the Karate arena. As a member, all SCUKO locations have Public Liability cover when students are training. All SCUKO students automatically have Public Liability and member to member cover through FEKO when affiliating to SCUKO.

The most important part of the SCUKO structure is the Instructor Training Programme. It is very important that all Instructors have SCUKO Instructor Accreditation. This confirms an instructor knows the SCUKO syllabus, has an understanding of the technical standards expected and has the ability to teach to these standards. It also confirms the instructor has the ability to teach to a satisfactory standard in a Safe and Professional Way.

It is a requirement that all Instructors carry Professional Indemnity insurance with minimum
of £2 million cover. All instructors must also have a Criminal Records Bureau Enhanced Disclosure check every two years. It is a requirement that all instructors be First Aid qualified.

All registered instructors must also sign up to the SCUKO Code of Ethics and Statement of Equality. The Code of Ethics sets out the requirements for the behaviour of a SCUKO instructor teaching Karate, together with the rights and expectations of both instructors and students. The Statement of Equality confirms that an instructor will treat all students and prospective students with respect, dignity and equality

All of these requirements are addressed as part of the Instructor Training Programme. Administratively all clubs requirements are handled through one SCUKO central contact making communication very easy. Help and advice on any matter is given.
