It is likely that your club/ organisation will already be engaged in good practice. However it is essential that everyone involved in your club/ organisation knows what behaviour is acceptable and what is not. The first thing that any club needs to have in place are Guidelines of Good Practice, also know as a Code of Conduct.  This is the cornerstone of any good safeguarding policy.  Without a standard for coaches / parents / children to adhere to you are leaving your club/ organisation vulnerable and open to challenge about behaviour or actions of individuals within your club. 

• Code of Conduct for club committees
• Code of conduct for leaders
• Code of conduct for young people
• Code of conduct for coaches, teachers, leaders and committee members

As a manager you are also not able to challenge a person if you have your own concerns about the standard of their practice if you have not made them aware of the standards you expect from them. Codes of conduct should include positive statements, statements relating to behaviours to be avoided and unacceptable behaviour
