2. Code of Conduct

Datchworth RFC maintains a number of codes of conduct for our members to communicate the expectations that we have for the different roles we all occupy within the club. These are currently documented for:

• Players
• Parents & Carers
• Club Officials & Volunteers

We also have documented some guides to provide more detail around specific areas we want to emphasise "good' standards. These are around our relationship with the village and its residents, dealing with youngsters and coaching.

Over all of this we have the RFU's Code of rugby that applies to all members, players and volunteers within Datchworth RFC and sits above all club codes of conduct.

• Enjoy the game!
