The Code underpins the rules and regulations governing all participants – players, coaches, officials, staff and volunteers, setting out a fair and transparent process to be followed where there is a potential breach of rules or regulations.
The Code aims to reset the standards of acceptable conduct outlined in the Code of Ethics and Conduct, and build trust in the organisation to take action when behaviour falls below the standard expected by the basketball community.
The Disciplinary Code and Publication Policy come into effect from 1st September 2022, and will be applicable to any incidents committed on or after this date.
To support the launch of the Disciplinary Code support documents have been produced to help understand the impact of the Code and the what it means for various members.
The main documents are linked by clicking the images below, and a list of additional resources are available at the bottom of the page.
