Which item is included in the Policies and Initiatives for an NGB?

• A. Anti-doping policies + up to date list of permitted and banned drugs
• B. Promoting etiquette and fair play
• C. Community programmes
• D. Information and guidance on safe guarding

Answer: (B)

Setting standards for behaviour and promoting fair play is central to what national governing bodies publish as Policies and Initiatives. This item captures the codes of conduct that guide how players, coaches, officials, and clubs should act, ensuring respect for opponents, officials, and the rules of the game. By formalizing etiquette and fair play, the NGB creates a consistent, sport-wide expectation that supports honest competition and a positive culture in all activities.

While anti-doping policies, safeguarding information, and community programmes are all important parts of an NGB’s work, they belong to other policy or programme areas. The focus on etiquette and fair play directly reflects the public policy stance on how sport should be governed and conducted.
