Practical Ethics for Sports Scientists Webinar

Sports Scientists often work in settings where high performance and winning can be the paramount concern. This can put sport scientists and other support personnel under pressure when trying to maintain the integrity of their professional practices, especially the maintenance of athlete health and wellbeing.  Accredited Sport Scientists are expected to deliver evidence-based support for sport performance and to do so according to ESSA standards of professionalism and ethics.

This presentation can help sports scientists to identify and manage effectively key professional and ethical issues and behaviours in their practice. Many of these issues relate to the practitioner-athlete relationship (e.g., duty of care, confidentiality, conflicts of interest), inter-professional practice, as well as the increasing important placed on child protection, athlete rights, mental health and sport integrity (e.g., fairness, anti-doping, anti-corruption).

Practical cases and examples will be used throughout, and Q&A opportunities will be made available during and at the end of the session. Participants will be asked to complete a pre-presentation workbook (Practical Ethics for Sport Scientists), which will be revised during the presentation.
