Safeguarding: Children and Young Persons Code of Conduct
We wouldd like you to:
- Keep yourself safe by listening to your coach or trainer, behaving responsibly and speak out when something isn't right
- When you're with us, stay in the places where you're supposed to, don't wander off or leave without telling a member of the coaching team
- Take care of equipment and premises as if they were your own • Make it to practices or sessions on time and if you're running late, the coaching staff know
- Bring the right kit to practice and wear appropriate kit for the weather • Do not smoke or consume alcohol during practices, competitions or when representing us
- Respect and celebrate differences in our organisation and not discriminate against anyone else on the grounds of gender, race, sexual orientation or ability
- Report any incidents of bullying to a member of the WAKO GB staff, even if you're just a witness • Treat other young people with respect and appreciate that everyone has different levels of skill and talent
- Make our organisation a welcoming and friendly place to be
- Support and encourage your teammates. Tell them when they've done well and be there for them when they're struggling
- Respect our coaches, and the coaches and young athletes from other countries
- Be a good sport, celebrate when we win and be gracious when we lose
- Play the rules and have fun
- We expect all young athletes to follow the behaviours and requests set out in this code. If any athlete behaves in a way which contradicts any of the points set out above, we'll address the problem straight away with the athlete and their guardian and aim to resolve the issue.
