Equity Policy Statement (Jan 2012)
Hinckley Swimming Club is committed to treat everyone equally within the context of their activity, regardless of gender, ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation or political persuasion.
The Club will ensure that equity as stated in the club rules is incorporated in all aspects of it's activities and also recognises and adopts the Sport England definition of Sports Equity:
Sports equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access, recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them. It is about changing the culture and structure of sport to ensure that it becomes equally accessible to all members of society, whatever their age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality or socio-economic status.
The Club is committed to everyone having the right to enjoy their sport in an environment free from threat of discrimination, intimidation, harassment and abuse.
All Club members have a responsibility to challenge discriminatory behaviour and promote equality of opportunity.
The Club will deal with any incidence of discriminatory behaviour seriously, according to the club disciplinary procedures.
Procedure for addressing parents queries on insurance (Jan 2012)
A copy of the HSC current certificate of insurance will be displayed on the Club notice board. Details of the cover held by the club will be accessible by members and non-members from the HSC web. For further information, members should contact any member of the Club's Management Committee. If the Committee Member is not able to answer a query immediately, they will seek clarification and ensure the parent is notified either verbal or in writing within 3 weeks of the query being raised.
HSC Policy on Travel Expenses for Volunteer Teachers and Coaches (Jan 2012)
HSC will reimburse Volunteer Teachers and Coaches such mileage costs incurred over and above the first 10 miles of any single return journey undertaken in connection with their responsibilities within the club. Teachers/Coaches wishing to claim such expenses should submit a claim in writing to the Treasurer outlining the details (date, journey, total mileage, mileage being claimed) for each journey. Expenses will be reimbursed at the ASA Regional mileage rate current at the time. It should be noted, however, that the Club will not reimburse expenses if a son/daughter is travelling with the teacher/coach for the purpose of swimming during the same swim session.
HSC Policy on Succession Planning and Recruitment (Jan 2012)
All members and parents of members will be encouraged at all times both formally and informally to contribute their time to help operate the Club. Primary responsibility for the recruitment of volunteers will lie with the Workforce Development Officer but all Management Committee members have a responsibility to encourage and facilitate others to volunteer. All open Management Committee positions will be advertised both in the Club Newsletter (Goggles) and on the Club Web site. A relationship with the local volunteer bureau will be actively maintained and the Workforce Development Officer will be required to maintain a relationship with the County ASA Workforce Development officer.
Volunteers will additionally be encouraged to participate in the affairs of the club by making available funding to either subsidise or cover the whole cost of appropriate training courses, subject to Management Committee approval, where the training received will be of direct benefit to the club. Any suitably qualified member wishing to participate in any swimming related forum or committee will be actively supported in so doing by the Club.
