conduct specifically aimed at Age Group athletes, to offer guidance on good practice for the
involvement in the sport of triathlon.

Rights
As a responsible athlete you will:
• Treat all persons within the triathlon community with dignity and respect.
• Treat everyone equally.
• Not discriminate against an individual or group on any grounds, including age, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, disability, race, occupation, religion or political
persuasion.
• Challenge discrimination in whatever form it takes.
• Recognise that abusive language, bullying, harassment and physical violence will not be tolerated.

Behaviour
As a responsible athlete you will:
• Display a high standard of behaviour at all times. You should display courtesy and good manners towards others.
• Avoid swearing, abusive language and irresponsible behaviour. This includes behaviour that is dangerous to yourself and/or to others.
