UK Athletics has published Codes of Conduct to provide clear guidance on the standards of professional conduct to which UK Athletics expects coaches to adhere, and volunteer coaches to aspire.
The codes have been developed by UKA to help provide clarity of what ‘good’ looks and feels like in terms of coaching behaviours and to ensure that UK Athletics’ organisational values; integrity, communication, accountability, respect and quality performance, are translated into action to help and protect coaches who not only perform such an integral role but also often have immense influence over athletes, who in turn may be young and vulnerable.
All of our qualified Run Leaders have signed the Volunteer Code of Conduct.
