Judo BC Volunteer Registration

This code of conduct establishes the boundaries and guidelines that all Judo BC volunteers are expected to conduct themselves by.

This code adopts and accepts all the language contained in the BC Universal Code of Conduct.

Judo BC Volunteers shall strive to:

• Treat everyone fairly within the context of their activity, regardless of gender, place of origin, color, sexual orientation, religion, political belief, or economic status.

• Maintain a positive atmosphere and safe environment.

• Treat parents, other volunteers, officials, athletes, and coaches with due respect and refrain from public criticism of them. When comment is necessary, direct the comments or criticism at performance rather than the individual. This includes not intimidating or permitting the intimidation of any individual, by word or action.

• Uphold and abide by the rules of judo and the spirit of such rules (IJF rules, particular event rules and the principles of judo).

• Refrain from the use of profane, insulting, harassing or otherwise offensive language in the conduct of your duties. Verbal or physical behaviors that constitute harassment or abuse are not acceptable.

• Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of team members shall not coach their child, or other team members, while at judo events unless they are selected by Judo BC or their club to coach at that event. Note: Only NCCP certified Dojo Instructors are eligible to be selected by Judo BC or clubs to coach at events.

• Handle all conflict in a timely manner and with dignity.

• Refrain from attending any judo events (clinics, tournaments, practices, etc.) under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Never advocate or condone the use of drugs or other banned performance enhancing substances.
  

An individual who violates the Judo BC Code of Conduct and/or the BC Universal Code of Conduct may be subject to sanctions pursuant to the Judo BC Discipline and Complaints Policy.
