Code of conduct – Parents

We ask that you agree to:

  • Positively reinforce your child and show an interest in their chosen activity.  

  • Do not place your child under pressure or push them into activities they do not want to do. 

  • Deliver and collect your child punctually before and after sessions. 

  • Ensure your child has clothing and kit appropriate to the weather conditions.

  • Ensure that proper sportswear and protective equipment are worn. Any child not in possession of the fundamental requirements will not be permitted to participate. 

  • Detail any relevant medical concerns or conditions pertaining to your child on the registration/consent form. Any changes in the state of the child's health should be reported to the coaching staff prior to the activity.  

  • Inform the organiser prior to the activity starting if your child is to be collected early. 

  • Encourage your child to play by the rules; and teach them that they can only do their best.

  • Ensure that your child understands their code of conduct. 

  • Behave responsibly on the side-line. 

  • Show appreciation and support towards the coaching staff. 

  • Ensure your child is punctual.

  • Be realistic and supportive of your child’s ability and progress. 

  • Ensure your child has appropriate equipment, plus adequate food and drink if required.

  • Accept the official’s judgment and do not enter the field of play.  

As a parents/carer you have the right to:

  • Be assured that your child is safeguarded during their participation in sport.

  • Be informed of problems or concerns relating to your children. 

  • Be informed if your child is injured during the session. 

  • Have your consent sought for photography and videoing of your child. 

  • Contribute towards the smooth, effective running of the organisation by providing constructive feedback. 

  • Have any concerns about any aspect of your child’s welfare listened to responded to. 

  • Richmond Ravers is committed to providing an environment free from bullying, harassment and aggression. Parents are asked to treat our coaching staff with dignity and respect.   

Any breaches of this code of conduct will be dealt with immediately by Mrs. Julie Laidler. Persistent concerns or breaches may result in you being asked not to attend sessions if your attendance is considered detrimental to the welfare of young participants.  

The ultimate action should a parent/guardian continue to breach the code of behaviour may be the coaching staff regrettably asking your child to leave the session.

In extreme circumstances, should we deem it necessary, we reserve the right to terminate your club membership with immediate effect, without reimbursement of fees.
