Section 5.3 of the guidelines says codes of conduct should set a zero-tolerance approach to harassment and state the consequences of breaches. They should apply to coaches, officials, staff, spectators, players and volunteers, and spectator codes should be displayed at venues. Education and training should help people recognise and respond to harassment.
The guidelines list examples of conduct to address, including being directed to the wrong bathroom, invasive questions, incorrect pronouns and privacy breaches.
