Coaching Code of Conduct

Quality training from the world's largest paddling course provider

The Coaching Code of Conduct incorporates the UK Coaching (formerly Sports Coach UK) Code of Practice for Sports Coaches.

The code defines all that is best in good coaching practice.

Regardless of the badge, qualification or title, the Code is relevant to us all. British Canoeing acknowledge and appreciate the contribution made by coaches throughout our sport:

  • The crucial role they play in the continued development of paddlesport and in the lives of the individuals they coach.
  • Good coaches ensure participants in paddlesport have positive experiences
  • Coaches should therefore ensure they demonstrate a high degree of honesty, integrity and competence at all levels.

We want to support coaches in their understanding of their responsibilities, whilst maintaining the key concept that participation is for fun and enjoyment as well as achievement.

You can access the full Coaching Code of Conduct here: Coaching Workforce Code of Conduct
