CODE OF ETHICS

Renmore Hockey Code of Ethics

Renmore Ladies Hockey is fully committed to safeguarding the wellbeing of its participants. Every individual in hockey should at all times, show respect and understanding for participants' rights, safety and welfare and conduct themselves in a way that reflects the principles of the organisation and the guidelines contained in the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport. In working with young people in hockey our first priority is their welfare and we are committed to providing an environment that will allow participants to perform to the best of their ability, free from abuse, neglect, bullying and intimidation. Renmore's child welfare policy, the Code of Ethics for Hockey for Young People, contains Codes of Conduct (for Sports Leaders, young people and parents), a recruitment policy, guidelines for travelling, supervision and physical contact along with guidelines for recognising and reporting child protection concerns.

Child Protection and Recruitment Renmore carry out safe recruitment procedures to ensure that all those working with young people are suitable.

To be able to respond to a concern, Renmore have child protection procedures in place. Click here for more on child protection procedures. If you have any concerns, contact your Designated Person who is responsible for reporting any concerns to the Statutory Authorities.

Good Practice in Hockey

To ensure that children have a positive experience playing hockey, there are guidelines in the

Code of Ethics for Hockey for Young People around good practice. All involved with youth

hockey should sign a Code of Conduct to create a child friendly environment in which young

people can thrive. This includes Sport Leaders, parents, children and those responsible for the

organisation for youth hockey. Click here for more on Codes of

Conduct.

The Code of Ethics for Hockey for Young People also includes

guidelines for travelling, hosting, physical contact, the use of social

media, the use of photographic equipment and supervision. Click

here for more on these General Guidelines. Bullying in hockey is

unacceptable, click here for more on dealing with bullying.

The Club Children's Officer is responsible for helping the club to create a child friendly

environment and is the link between child, parent and club. If you have any questions around

good practice in our hockey club, speak to our Club Children's Officer.
