FITREC’s Code of Practice for Public Spaces
With the help of experts, FITREC has created a document that is plain-speaking and functional. AS well as providing our registered professionals with clarity on best practices, the FITREC Code of Practice for Public Spaces provides a practical framework for the operation of outdoor sessions.
The key principles of the FITREC Code of Practice for Public Spaces include...
Safety of your clients, yourself and the general public is the highest priority
Adopt an attitude of “Minimal touch” to the surrounding community, environment, & others sharing the spaces
‘Do not destroy what you’re there to enjoy’ - Leave the activity location in the identical or improved state/condition upon completion/departure to what it was upon arrival
High standards of compliance with relevant codes and regulations.
Continuous improvement in standards of professionalism and performance - We don’t just represent ourselves, we represent the industry as a whole.
Everyone who works in our industry should equally treat and show respect to others, from all walks of life at all times.
WHAT'S INSIDE?
Ensuring that the new Code of Practice for Public Spaces is a resource that professionals will refer back to, we've made it easy to read and wholly specific to running outdoor sessions. Professionals referring to the code will find...
Clarity around your obligations as a professional using public spaces
The importance of building and maintaining your connection with Council officers.
Key parameters and expectations you need to be aware of when working in public spaces
