Codes of Practice, Conduct and H&S

The KKC is affiliated to the National Governing Body of paddlesport, Paddle UK (formerly British Canoeing and, before that, the British Canoe Union). The sport is conducted under the auspices of Sport England (https://www.sportengland.org), and at all times KKC will follow the best practice of both organisations.

Copies of the club’s most used Codes of Conduct are available in the clubhouse and on the website. New members are made aware of these when they join and are reminded at appropriate times if the need arises. All coaches are kept up to date by Paddle UK when changes to good practice are announced. These will be implemented as soon as practicable, and all policies are reviewed annually at the AGM.

A full suite of Paddle UK policies relevant to KKC can be accessed here:

As you will discover when you read them, most of it is simply common sense and reflects what we all do every day without thinking.

Please read the Codes of Conduct appropriate to you and ensure that your children, or any children in your care, read the Junior Members’ Code of Conduct.
