Anti-Bullying Policy
Kootenay Mountain Biking (KMB) is committed to providing a fun, positive, and secure environment in which to learn and enjoy mountain biking. We do not tolerate bullying under any circumstances, nor do we tolerate disruptive behavior which negatively impacts the experience for other participants. At KMB, we advocate a stand up to bullying atmosphere. This means that anyone who knows that bullying is taking place is expected to report the incident. Participants and parents should be assured that they will be supported when bullying is reported.
​
Disruptive behavior includes any rude, disrespectful, or negative behavior towards other participants, coaches, or the program in general. Equally, disruptive behavior includes a negative attitude toward biking and resistance to participating in activities.
​
Please also ensure that the participant is enrolled in the right program for their skill level and has adequate, functional equipment, as such circumstances also disrupt the program and enjoyment for all participants.
​
Definition of Bullying
Bullying is defined as conduct, gestures, or comments which are insulting, intimidating, humiliating, hurtful, malicious, degrading, or otherwise offensive to others, and which create a hostile or intimidating environment, or which negatively affects the physical and/or emotional well-being of others. Bullying is any written, verbal or physical act, or any electronic communication, whether it is a single incident or a series of incidents that results in intentional pain and distress to the victim.
​
Signs and Symptoms
A child may indicate he or she is being bullied through various signs and symptoms. While some children are prone to report bullying to their parents, coaches, or adults, others will not, due to fear, intimidation, or other factors. Coaches and parents should be aware of possible signs indicating that bullying may be taking place. These signs and behaviors could indicate other problems, but bullying should be considered a possibility and should be investigated.
​
Procedures for Parents, Coaches, and the Executive Director
Parents and participants should report bullying incidents to the coach. If the problem persists, reach out to the Kootenay Mountain Biking CEO, Pete Burkitt. If necessary and appropriate, police may be consulted.
​
In all cases of reported bullying, parents of the participant who was bullied shall be informed immediately and may be asked to meet with the respective coach and/or CEO to discuss the incident. In all cases, strict confidentiality shall be maintained. It is not our goal to make a public example of reported incidents.
The negative behavior must be investigated and the bullying stopped immediately. The parents of any participant who is reported to be bullying or disrupting the program will be contacted immediately and asked to meet to discuss the incident and work with the individual to modify behavior.
​
Consequences of Bullying
In a first offence situation involving bullying and/or disruptive behavior, an attempt will be made to encourage the bully (or bullies) or individual to modify their behavior for their benefit, for the benefit of the person bullied, and for the team. An attempt will be made by the coach, manager, or parent(s) to reconcile the situation between individuals (age and level of maturity and or severity of offence must be considered).
​
If the bullying and/or disruptive behavior persists, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to immediate removal from participation in the program. At the discretion of Kootenay Mountain Biking, the individual may or may not be eligible to participate in future programs. Reimbursement for any such removal will be forfeit.
