RLSS UK Code of Practise

 

All aspects of Lifesaving and Lifeguarding can and do have a powerful and positive influence on people; not only providing opportunities for enjoyment and achievement, but also developing valuable qualities such as confidence, self esteem, leadership and team work. These positive effects can only take place if Lifesaving is in the right hands and it is the duty of all those associated in leading activity whether it be as a Trainer, Assessor, Coach, Official Region, Branch or Club Officer or Volunteer to provide the correct environment.

The RLSS UK is committed to ensuring that everyone who participates in Lifesaving has a safe, positive and enriching experience. To achieve this, the Society is dedicated to developing and implementing policies and procedures which ensures everyone understands and accepts their responsibility in relation to their duty of care, behaviours and attitudes to others.

For all those taking part in RLSS UK activities and for you as the secretary managing the organisational and logistical aspects of these activities, this vital document outlines all our policies and guidance on areas such as health and safety, insurance, training, equal opportunities and many other vital areas of our activities.

RLSS UK Code of Conduct

 

Staff and volunteers and participants are crucial to the development of lifesaving and in the lives of the many individuals they impact upon.

Those teaching and training lifesaving, must demonstrate at all levels a high degree of honesty, integrity and competence. The need for teachers to understand and act on their responsibilities is of critical importance to lifesaving. This is implicit within good teaching practice and promotes a professional image of the good practitioner. Equally, participants must also uphold the ethos of lifesaving. This Code of Conduct defines all that is best in good teaching practice that you can expect as a club members and the behaviours of a good lifesaver.
