Creating a Healthy Environment
Haddon Township Rowing Club is committed to creating and promoting a safe and positive environment for young athletes’ physical, emotional and social development. The SafeSport Policy and Code of Conduct Agreement (links below) are important tools toward this goal, reflecting best practices and relevant procedures for the prevention of misconduct and the protection of minor athletes. These documents are guided by and align with agreements between HTRC and its affiliate entities: the Haddon Township School District, the US Rowing Association and the Philadelphia Scholastic Rowing Association.
The Club’s SafeSport Policy applies to adult members who regularly interact with rowers (employees, coaches, Board Trustees and volunteers), the rowers and the organization. Its focus is the prevention of physical, emotional and sexual abuse of minors. The Code of Conduct Agreement and Team Rules deal with what is expected of rowers to create a safe and positive environment. It includes additional safety issues, such as boating protocols, not found in the SafeSport Policy.
All members of the Club are expected to comply with the SafeSport Policy and Code of Conduct. Additionally, every HTRC rower and their parent/guardian are required to sign the Code of Conduct Agreement as a condition of participation.
