Remote Coaching: Do's & Don'ts
In respect of any coaching or instruction that is undertaken remotely (either live or pre-recorded), it is strongly recommended that the coach should:
1. at the commencement of the session, advise participants:
- that by participating they are doing so at their own risk;
- a suitable, non-slip floor space is required and any potential obstructions in the vicinity are removed before they participate;
- to avoid activities if they have, or suspect they may have any current health concerns, injuries, aches and pains;
- avoid the use of blades, weapons or sharp instruments of any description;
- avoid physical contact with other participants and where appropriate, adhere to social distancing guidelines;
2. ensure that sessions are conducted for the benefit of existing members/participants/contacts only who have demonstrated sufficient suitability to participate;
3. continue to only instruct activities in which you are qualified to do so;
4. record the session. Retaining the recording for a period of up to thirty-six (36) months may assist in any claim made against you.
