Code of Conduct for Parents, Guardians and Carers

The enjoyment and safety of your child when involved in a Judo activity is of paramount importance to BJA. Every participant will be encouraged and asked to ensure their behaviour and actions meet the values and standards set out in this Code. As parents/guardians/carers, you are asked to support our all-encompassing Code of Conduct and additionally:

As a parent/guardian/carer, I will:
  • Encourage my child to participate within the rules and respect officials’ and coaches’ decisions;
  • Support my child’s efforts and performance, giving positive comments that motivate and encourage continued effort and learning;
  • Understand that competition is about winning and losing, so I will accept the results without undue disappointment;
  • Be a positive role model to my child by helping them to work towards skill improvement and good sportsmanship;
  • Remember that children learn best by example and applaud good play by both my child and their opponent;
  • Thank the coaches, officials and other volunteers who give their time for my child and not interfere with or question their decisions in competition;
  • Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all people involved in the sport of Judo;
  • Read the rules of the sport to better understand what I am watching and discussing with my child;
  • Promote this Code of Conduct to other parents, guardians and carers;
  • Be aware of the Safeguarding Policy and ensure that any concerns are reported to the Club or Event Welfare Officer and/or Head of Safeguarding at the BJA.

As a parent/guardian/carer, I will not:
  • Pressure my child in any way;
  • Use inappropriate language, harass athletes, coaches, officials or other spectators;
  • Criticise or ridicule any child for making a mistake or losing during or after a match;
  • Force my child to participate in the sport if they are unwilling to do so;
  • Attend any Judo activity under the influence of alcohol or drugs or any other intoxicating substance;
  • Use social media to bring the sport into disrepute or make an inappropriate comment about an athlete, coach, official, volunteer or any other Member of BJA;

I understand that inappropriate pressure on children, and poor behaviour of adult spectators can sometimes make children drop out of sport.

I accept that this Code promotes good spectator behaviour and that if I do not follow this Code action will be taken and I may:
  • Be asked to apologise for my behaviour;
  • Receive a verbal or written warning;
  • Receive a fixed term suspension from attending club training sessions and events;
  • Be barred from attending domestic and/or national competitions;
  • Be required to leave the club.
