As a responsible athlete you will:
Treat others with the same respect and fairness that you wish to receive
Uphold the same values off the field as you do when engaged in athletics
Anticipate your own needs, be organised and on time
Thank those who help you participate in athletics
Inform your coach of any other coaching you are receiving
Show patience with and respect diversity in others
Act with dignity at all times
Notify a responsible adult if you have to go somewhere (why, where and when you will return)
Not respond if someone seeks private information, unrelated to athletics e.g. home life
Strictly maintain a clear boundary between friendship and intimacy with a coach, official or other person with whom you work
Never accept lifts in cars or invitations into homes on your own or without the prior knowledge and consent of your parent / carer
Use safe transport or travel arrangements
Avoid destructive behaviour and leave athletics venues as you find them
Never engage in any illegal or irresponsible behaviour
Challenge anyone whose behaviour falls below the expected standards of 'Athletics Welfare'
Speak out immediately if anything makes you concerned or uncomfortable (telling your parents/carers and or the Club WO) or if you suspect a club mate has suffered from misconduct by someone else
