TMGA and TMGA D Y Patil Sports Centre are committed to the health, safety and well-being of all members, staff and visitors of the facilities. We passionately want to provide all, without discrimination, the opportunity to participate in sport and recreation at world-class facilities within the world-class infrastructure.
As a society, attitudes and patterns of behaviour are changing, especially with the considerations, impact and repercussions of COVID-19, TMGA has made the decision to issue a Code of Conduct to all TMGA users when within, or connected to, the Sports Centre, and therefore require all members, users (including guests and visitors) and staff to thereby agree to fully abide by its contents.
When training or using the Sports Centre, allowing all users the opportunity to participate without fear or prejudice or discriminatory behaviour towards them is vitally important. Everyone’s behaviour on-site, in actions, language and attitude, as well as their conduct and following of etiquettes, will not only influence their own experience but that of fellow users too.
TMGA’s ethos is based around 3 core areas:
- Using sport and recreation as part of being a fit and healthy person
- People being good global citizens,
- All people being treated with equality and with respect.
This is the reason why our terms and conditions, codes of conduct, policies and all procedures are established with depth and detail. This helps set up every individuals expectation and helps us maintain these standards, and uphold everyone’s experience expectations.
The principles that underpin this Code of Conduct are:
- The user’s safety and wellbeing is paramount.
- All users, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious belief or sexual identity have the right to protection from abuse.
- All users have the right to be safe and treated with dignity and respect.
- Your attitude, actions and behaviour has a direct impact on other people’s experience within the Sports Centre.
Any breach of this Code may lead to the member, visitor or guest being warned as to their future conduct or in more serious cases being suspended or barred from attending a TMGA Sports Centre. Where there are more serious breaches of discipline within this Code, a person may be asked to leave the Sports Centre with immediate effect.
