Policies

Athletics Nova Scotia wishes to have a fair, consistent and reasonable policy in place to deal with the issues of discipline and harassment. It is hoped that you will review these documents and provide feedback to Athletics Nova Scotia regarding the content, clarity and effectiveness of these documents.

The Code of Conduct describes the expected standard of behaviour during athletic events and practices and when representing the association and the province. This policy applies to athletes, coaches, officials and administrators.

The Disciplinary Policy describes the procedure to be followed should the Code of Conduct be breached and disciplinary action sought.

The Disciplinary Policy Appendices provide examples of infractions that may result in the initiation of a disciplinary procedure. It also contains an incident report form.

The Appeals Policy describes the procedure through which an individual facing discipline through Athletics Nova Scotia may appeal the decision.

Finally, the Alternate Dispute Resolution policy outlines the steps that may be taken should the previous policies fail to satisfy the parties involved. This policy covers areas such as mediation and arbitration.
