Codes of Conduct

Codes of Conduct aren't new and are already in use by some clubs (it is mandatory for Charter Standard clubs). Some are successful, some are forgotten and are not acted upon.

Respect brings them to life.

How? By supporting and strengthening the Codes of Conduct with possible consequences. There is little point in having a set of rules if no action is taken if and when they're broken.

There are five Codes of Conduct (available under related documents), each listing possible penalties for breaking these 'promises'. The Codes are aimed at:

  • Young Players
  • Adult Players
  • Spectators and Parents/Carers
  • Coaches, Team Managers and Club Officials
  • Match Officials

Respect works on placing responsibility for their actions on individuals: break your Code, and bear the consequences.
