The BHA has a separate code of conduct for each type of scheme. Compliance is mandatory where the syndicator / club manager is paid for their role or the method of attracting participation includes invitations to the public.

Both Codes have been updated in recent years. Code requirements mostly apply to syndicators or those who run the racing clubs but there are also provisions in there that affect members, so everyone should be familiar with these regulations. The Codes also come in handy as a first-stage checklist of things to include in the contract between the syndicator (or club manager) and its members.
