Code of Conduct – officials & volunteers

Consider the wellbeing and safety of players (children) in your care before the development of performance.

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

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

Always Promote the positive aspects of the sport (e.g. fair play).
Display consistently high standards of behaviour and appearance.

Follow all guidelines laid down by the National Governing Body and the club.

Hold the appropriate, valid qualifications and insurance cover.

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

Never condone rule violations, rough play or the use of prohibitive substances.

Encourage all players to value their performances and not just results.
Promote and encourage playing/training as a "fun for all activity".

All adults involved with players, under the age of 18 years, must have a Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) form completed.

All adults are reminded never to put themselves in a position which may compromise the Child Protection Policy, e.g. being alone with players in changing rooms/toilets; and must report any incident or suspicion of child abuse (verbal, physical, sexual or neglect) to the Child Welfare Officer or Head Coach.
