CODE OF PRACTICE FOR CLUB OFFICIALS AND VOLUNTEERS 

The essence of good ethical conduct and practice is summarised below. 

All volunteers must: 

Consider the wellbeing and safety of participants before the development of performance. 

Develop an appropriate working relationship with participants, based on mutual trust and respect. 

Make sure all activities are appropriate to the age, ability and experience of those taking part. 

Promote the positive aspects of the sport (e.g. fair play). 

Display consistently high standards of behaviour and appearance (except for Ace Man who is and always will be rather unruly, smelly and scruffy.) 

Follow all guidelines laid down by the national governing body and the club. 

Hold appropriate valid qualifications and insurance cover. 

Never exert undue influence over performers to obtain personal benefit or reward. 

Never condone rule violations in competition, rough play or the use of prohibited substances. 

Encourage participants to value their performances and not just results. 

Encourage and guide participants to accept responsibility for their own performance and behaviour.

Sports equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access, recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them. It is about changing the culture and structure of sport to ensure it becomes equally accessible to everyone in society. 

The club respects the rights, dignity and worth of every person and will treat everyone equally within the context of their sport, regardless of age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief, sexuality or social/economic status. 

The club is committed to everyone having the right to enjoy their sport in an environment free from threat of intimidation, harassment and abuse. 

All club members have a responsibility to oppose discriminatory behaviour and promote equality of opportunity. 

The club will deal with any incidence of discriminatory behaviour seriously, according to club disciplinary procedures.
