CODE OF CONDUCT HEART OF ILLINOIS SPECIAL RECREATION ASSOCIATION CODE OF CONDUCT

• The following guidelines have been developed to help make the Heart of Illinois Special Recreation Association (HISRA) programs and services safe and enjoyable for all participants. Additional rules may be developed for particular programs as deemed necessary by staff. The team at HISRA is committed to providing a safe, needs-satisfying, growth-oriented experience for every participant. We believe discipline is not merely a list of expectations, but rather an approach to teaching skills in self-control, responsible choice making, and appropriate community participation. • A positive approach will be used regarding discipline. Staff will periodically review rules with participants during the program session. Prompt resolution will be sought specific to each individual situation. HISRA reserves the right to dismiss a participant whose behavior endangers the safety of himself or others assuming the procedures listed below are implemented and followed accordingly. • Individual needs are taken into consideration. Disability information should be identified in advance to the program supervisor/staff so appropriate supports may be put in place. Please be sure your Annual Information Form is current and update staff with any changes. • The following are guidelines that may be imposed in the disciplinary action process. These guidelines in no way guarantee that a participant will necessarily receive each level before dismissal based on the severity of the action. Also, please note that when programs are held at non-HISRA/Park District facilities, private facility rules take precedence over program code of conduct. LEVEL 1 The resolution of Level 1 behaviors is primarily the responsibility of program leaders and staff members. Level 1 behaviors include, but are not limited to the following: • Purposely distracting others • Inappropriate remarks • Inappropriate contact • Littering • Inappropriate dress • Pushing and/or shoving • Profanity and/or obscenity • Excessive/loud talking • Throwing objects • Refusal to follow instruction

LEVEL 2 These interventions are the responsibility of Program Supervisor (or designee) with assistance from leaders/ staff. Level 2 behaviors include, but are not limited to the following: • Possession of harmful objects • Discriminatory conduct • Intimidation/threats • Possession of stolen property • Unauthorized gambling • Theft • Damage to property • Persistent Level 1 behaviors • Disregard for others’ safety • Fighting, kicking, biting, spitting, pinching • Leaving grounds without permission LEVEL 3 These interventions are the responsibility of the Program Supervisor with consultation from Executive Director. Level 3 behaviors include, but are not limited to the following: • Persistent Level 2 behaviors • Arson/attempted arson • Sexual Misconduct • Possession of explosives • Burglary/robbery • Group violence • Use/possession of a weapon • Bomb threats • Use of a tool as a weapon • Endangerment • Vandalism • Fire alarms • Possession of stolen property • Interference with staff authority • Severe or repeated physical aggression • Abuse and/or harassment: verbal, physical, sexual, and emotional

EACH INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR WILL BE ADDRESSED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS WITH CONSIDERATION OF INDIVIDUAL DISABILITIES, MEDICAL ISSUES AND BEHAVIOR PLANS.
