Coaches Code of Conduct
A code of conduct defines what is considered good and correct behaviour of all Scottish Rowing coaches. It reflects the values held by the coaching profession and outlines the expected conduct of members while they perform their duties. It will also be used as a benchmark to assess whether certain behaviours are acceptable or not acceptable. As a qualified rowing coach, you are expected to adhere to this code of conduct at all times.
