Instructor Code of Conduct
As an instructor at Brampton Muay Thai, you play a vital role in shaping a positive, safe, and inclusive environment for our students. This Code of Conduct outlines the expectations and responsibilities you must uphold to maintain the highest standards of professionalism and leadership to ensure that Brampton Muay Thai continues to be a school where students can thrive.

-
• Treat all students, parents, and colleagues with respect, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, ability, or background.
• Take steps to ensure all students feel welcome and included.
• Address any form of bullying, harassment, inappropriate behaviors, or discrimination immediately to the head instructor.
• Monitor students closely during training to prevent injuries and maintain a safe training environment.
• Thoroughly explain and use appropriate techniques to ensure all drills and exercises are suitable for the students’ age, size, and skill level.
• Enforce hygiene and safety rules, including clean uniforms, short nails, and use of proper equipment.
• In the event of accidents, injuries, medical emergencies, criminal activity, or unusual occurrence, you must submit an incident report within 24 hours of the incident, to ensure timely follow-up and resolution.
