Coaches - What to do next

• Provide leadership to your team – remember, as the coach you set the tone.
• Reinforce your sport’s Code of Behaviour and its policy on cultural diversity (this might be reflected in the Member Protection Policy).
• Consider being a mentor/liaison person to people from multi-cultural backgrounds, particularly if they’re new to the club.
• Ask the management committee to look at ways of making the club more inclusive of people from multi-cultural backgrounds.
• Act quickly if you see breaches of behaviour and discuss the implications of the act and possible consequences with the person/s concerned. If the behaviour continues, raise it with the President or a committee member and seek their involvement to resolve the problem.
• Monitor the situation and take further action if required.
