Codes of Conduct

The purpose of a code is to clarify:

  • what behaviours are acceptable and unacceptable
  • the standards of practice expected
  • the basis for challenging and improving practice

The codes are therefore a guide for individuals and clubs to think about, and monitor, how they, and others, conduct themselves in their roles. The codes let everyone know what they can expect from the club, coaches and volunteers, but also what standard of behaviour is expected from club members, athletes and parents/carers.

Codes

Top Tips

  • The codes are a tool for continuous improvement. They can be used prior to or during training sessions, at club or team meetings to remind members of behaviors
  • The codes must form part of new member inductions, and at annual renewal of membership
  • Clubs can use their own digital methods to get members to sign up to the codes such as google form, spond, loveadmin and/or they can track members on myAthletics Portal
