As a player I will:   

Respect   

• Treat everyone fairly and equally regardless of their age, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, background or circumstances   

• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person within the badminton community and encourage others to do the same   

• Challenge and/or report discriminatory behaviour as everyone has the right to be protected from abuse and discrimination   

• Encourage all players, coaches, volunteers, parents/ carers and officials to have respect for one another 

• Play within the laws of the game and respect all officials and their decisions   

• Accept the referee’s decision without question or complaint (let your captain or coach ask the necessary questions)   

• Take personal responsibility to ensure that I am suitably insured for my activities   

• Wear appropriate clothing for playing badminton during training and competition   

• Applaud good performance and efforts from all individuals and teams   

• Congratulate all participants on their performance regardless of the game’s outcome   

• Keep to agreed times for training and competitions, and inform the appropriate person if I need to withdraw or cannot avoid being late

Safe and inclusive environments 

• Be aware of and abide by the Badminton England policies, procedures and guidelines for Safeguarding Young People, Safeguarding Adults at Risk, Equality and Anti-Doping   

• Report any concerns I may have in relation to a young person, following the Badminton England reporting procedures   

Behaviour   

• Act as a role model at all times and display high standards of behaviour and appearance   

• Promote the positive aspects of badminton (e.g. fair play).   

• Always act responsibly and set an example to others.
