All in Trafford Aikido are encouraged to work to high standards and adopt recognised best practice where possible. In addition to their own standards of practice, all volunteers, Helpers & Coaches should be aware of and apply:

• Safety guidelines.

• Codes of conduct/practice.

• Equity policy statement.

• Child protection policy and procedures

    that the British Aikido Board, Lancashire Aikikai and Trafford Aikido have adopted.

How any process or area of responsibility they are involved with should be carried out to maintain the Club’s operation and standards.

The club will ensure that its coaches & officials have guidance notes that are relevant to their work and that these notes cross reference to the source policies & documents.

The club will listen to and respond to matters that the club coaches or officials bring to its attention in relation to their work and will support, where possible training needs.


This was adopted by the Club at its meeting 13th January 2009
