Parents/Guardians

When it comes to anti-doping, you have a vital role in helping your child be clean and stay clean. By being engaged in your child’s sporting career, you see first hand how they cope with the lows, when they have their frustrating moments and when they might be susceptible to external pressure to make the wrong choices.

You may not be aware, but under the Anti-Doping Rules your child is responsible for any prohibited substance they use, attempt to use or is found in their system, even if they had no intention to cheat. Clearly, you have a great role to play in supporting your child to be clean, however there are some rules that also apply to you in terms of maybe knowingly providing them with a supplement which contains a banned substance, for example, or tampering in any part of the process. 

BWSW have identified the core subjects you need to be educated on which are listed below. Your level of education requirements are dependant upon the selected athlete target group categories.
