All Members of the Club should bear in
mind the following when there are children playing in the Club. If you
see or hear anything that might even suggest improper behaviour
towards, or in the presence of, a child by any member of the Club or
any other adult in the Community Centre then, as soon as possible,
please inform our Child Protection Officer or, in his absence, a Club
Officer. Ideally you should make a written record as soon as possible
after any such incident when the details are fresh in your mind.
Remember the following CODE OF CONDUCT. This is both a guide
for yourself and to what to expect from others.
DO remember that
language and behaviour which are acceptable in an adult bar can be
inappropriate when children are present.
DO avoid situations that
compromise your relationship with young people and are unacceptable
within a relationship of trust.
DO remember that someone else might
misinterpret your actions, no matter how well-intentioned.
DO plan
activities so that there is at least one other person present or
within sight or hearing. This applies to such activities as
one-to-one training and travelling to or from chess events.
Do NOT
have any inappropriate physical or verbal contact with others.
Do
NOT show favouritism to any individual.
Do NOT make suggestive
remarks or gestures even in fun.
Do NOT let suspicion, disclosure or
allegation of abuse go unrecorded or unreported.
Do NOT rely on just
your good name to protect you.
Do NOT believe 'It could never happen
to me'. |
