 ANWEL acknowledges that the sport of working equitation, like many other sports, is not immune from the risks issues that jeopardise the integrity of the sport. ANWEL, therefore, seeks to take a proactive approach to mitigate these integrity risks and provide a safe, fair and inclusive environment for all participants at all levels of the sport. ANWEL’s National Integrity Framework (Framework) is the umbrella policy that sets out ANWEL’s national integrity framework and requirements for ethical behaviour. 

Social media gives individuals, groups, organisations and businesses the opportunity to instantly share information with online communities 

While social media provides a great opportunity to raise ANWEL’s profile and reach new audiences, it also has the potential to harm the reputation of ANWEL, its members and stakeholders. It is therefore crucial that all ANWEL members and other persons bound by this policy are aware of the potential implications of using social media.  

 It is acknowledged that occasionally conflicts of interest may arise. A Conflict of Interest arises when an individual, who is in a position to influence a decision within ANWEL, has the potential to exploit that position to benefit personally, for a friend, family member or another connection, at the expense of ANWEL, an affiliated State or Club's best interests.
