Disciplinary Processes

We will be implementing a strike system, “strikes” will be award to Branch's and branch chiefs who are actively circumventing processes or bringing the federation in to disrepute, examples which have recently and in the past happened includes -

• Setting up social media accounts or branding which conflicts with official England Kudo guidelines (as discussed in the AGM and agreed by all branch chiefs).

• Grading and KIF branch management processes not been followed or circumvented.

• Setting up national events with out prior discussion.

• Entering International events directly (circumventing national selection processes and guardrails, as discussed in the AGM and agreed by all branch chiefs).

• Members, Branch Chiefs, athletes and supports (parents and family members) conduct

Each Strike will come with conditions -

• Strike 1 - The Branch, Development Lead, Study Group Lead or Branch Chief are expected to make corrective action to fix the issues. If the issues are not mitigated and additional 3 months will be added to the strike.

• Strike 2 - As above, but there will be an added condition that the branch will be suspended from entering athletes/coaches in international Kudo competitions or representing the national team domestically for 6 months.

• Strike 3 - again, as above but also the branch/branch chief will be suspended from running domestic Kudo competitions or workshops and any grading events will be reviewed for 12 months.

If a branch continues to acquire strikes or is found of any gross misconduct their status as an England Kudo branch will be suspended, a review with members to KIF and England Kudo will be launched.
