CODE OF CONDUCT FOR JUNIORS
 
Stirling & Clackmannan County Ladies Golf Association is dedicated to creating an environment that nurtures the enjoyment and enthusiasm of every member within our club.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR COACHES AND VOLUNTEERS
 
GOOD PRACTICE
In the context of your role at Stirling & Clackmannan County Ladies Golf Association,  the  following good practice guidelines should be followed:
  • Make golf fun, enjoyable and promote fair play.
  • Treat all children equally, with respect, dignity and fairness.
  • Involve parents, guardians and carers wherever possible.
  • Build balanced relationships based on mutual trust that empower and include children in the decision-making process.
  • Always work in an open environment. Avoid private or unobserved situations.
  • Put the welfare of each child first before winning or achieving performance goals.
  • Be an excellent role model including not smoking or drinking alcohol in the company of children.
  • Give enthusiastic and constructive feedback rather than negative criticism.

  • Spending excessive amounts of time alone with children away from others.

  • Where possible, doing things of a personal nature for children that they can do for themselves.
  • Making contact or holding discussions with children via social networking sites or texting.

  • Forming intimate emotional, physical or sexual relationships with children.
  • Allowing or engaging in touching a child in a sexually suggestive manner.
  • Allowing children to swear or use sexualised language unchallenged.
  • Making sexually suggestive comments to a child, even in fun.
  • Reducing a child to tears as a form of control.
  • Allowing allegations made by a child to go unchallenged, unrecorded or not acted upon.
  • Inviting or allowing children to stay with you at your home.
