- Jersey Sport recognises all sports clubs and associations. There is no registration or membership requirement for sports bodies to receive support.
- There are 26 sporting organisations with Clubmark, one of which joined in 2019. Clubmark is being replaced by SportsMark, a 'lighter' more achievable governance standard that focuses on the essential governance and safeguarding aspects of operating a sports club. SportsMark was due to be launched early in 2020 but was postponed due to the impact of COVID-19 on sports organisations. Any club holding ClubMark or a UK Governing Body equivalent will automatically receive SportsMark.
- Staff costs in 2020 were £1,179,638.
- The Partnership Agreement contains a range of key performance indicators (KPI) and governance compliance checks. The KPI principally relate to the performance of the programmes Jersey Sport operates. Benchmarks are set each year with Jersey Sport which relates to the previous year's performance or predicted performance if it is a new area or delivery.
- The Assistant Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Culture and Sport has responsibility for Jersey Sport. The relationship with Jersey Sport is managed by the Local Economy team within the Arts, Heritage and Sport portfolio. Regular meetings are held between the Department and Jersey Sport in line with the Partnership Agreement.
