2010 TSS ROWING HANDBOOK - The Southport School

TSS ROWING CODE OF CONDUCT
2.1 Key Principles
TSS Rowing wishes to operate in an environment where people show respect for others and their
property, including TSS staff and coaches. Respect is defined as consideration for another’s physical
and emotional well being and possessions, to ensure no damage or deprivation is caused to either.
This respect must extend to those who live in near proximity to the rowing shed and training areas in
the way of minimizing all excess noise, particularly early in the mornings.
TSS Rowing wishes to operate in an environment which is free from harassment. Harassment is
defined as any action directed at any individual or group, which creates a hostile, intimidatory or
offensive environment.
TSS Rowing wishes to operate in a non‐discriminatory environment. By this we mean where
everyone has an equal opportunity and receives a fair go in accordance with the law as well as TSS’s
standards and rules.
