UK Athletics (UKA) and the Home Country Athletics Federations (HCAF) Codes of Conduct set out national standards and are therefore a guideline for individuals to think about, and monitor, how they, and others, conduct themselves in their roles.

This is an important part of monitoring and improving the behaviour and practice of its members. Adopting and communicating clear codes of conduct is an important element in delivering the standards for child wellbeing and protection in sport.

By having a code of conduct it lets everyone know what they can expect from the staff, coaches and volunteers, but also what standard of behaviour is expected from staff members, athletes and parents/carers.

What are the codes?

The purpose of the codes is to clarify:

• What behaviours are acceptable and unacceptable
• The basis for challenging and improving practice.

We also ask that all our members, officials, athletes, coaches, parents and officers agree to abide by the relevant codes of conduct. By joining our academy and/or being involved as an athlete, coach, volunteer, officer or official you are agreeing to follow the policies and adhere to these codes of conduct.

The complete policies and procedures and how they are implemented can be found below. We ask everyone to read them. Please click on the box below to download the PDF form
