Our commitment

 

Our club is committed to providing a safe environment for the participation of children and young people. Part of this is ensuring that children and young people are not left alone after practice or games.

​

What we will do

​

• Make sure parents/guardians and children know the time and location of practice and games and when they can expect to collect their children.

• Request coaches and other sporting personnel to arrive before scheduled practice or game times.

• Give coaches a register of parent/guardian emergency contact numbers and make sure they have access to a phone.

• Ensure that if parents/guardians are late, coaches will try to make contact with them and:

  • ask the second to last child and their parent/ guardian to wait with the coach/official and the child

  • get parents/guardians to collect their children from the club room (e.g. if there is a club room where other people will be).

  • avoid transporting children to their homes unless permission has been given by parents/guardians.

​

What we ask you to do

​

• Pick your children up on time or make other arrangements.

• Inform the coach about any changes in arrangements for picking up your child.
