The UK Athletics (UKA) and the Home Country Athletics Federations (HCAF) Codes of Conduct set out national standards of conduct for all clubs, coaches, officials, volunteers and athletes in the sport.


The 2021 revised codes take account of developments in national policy, guidance and practice. The purpose of the codes are to clarify:

  • what behaviours are acceptable and unacceptable
  • the standards of practice expected from all club members
  • the basis for challenging and improving practice

All club members must agree to the Codes of Conduct relevant to their role(s). Club admins can export data on which club members have signed up to which Codes of Conduct from the portal. To export the data:

  • Sign in to the myAthletics portal
  • Go to any one of the member listing pages e.g. 'All Members'
  • Click the 'Options' drop down arrow and then choose 'Export All'

The member export will show which of your members have signed up to which Codes of Conduct by indicating 'Yes' if they have signed up to a specific Code of Conduct.
