Child Safety - Please read 🙏

7 May 2024 by Lynne Kruger

Warrandyte Netball Club is committed to developing and maintaining a child safe environment within Netball.

In Netball we want Children and Young People to feel safe, included, encouraged and supported – essentially, to enjoy themselves so that they keep participating. To make sure that we create this environment, Netball's Child Safety Code of Conduct requires everyone involved in Netball to abide by certain behavioural standards when it comes to dealing with Children & Young People.

Every person in the netball community has a responsibility to understand their role in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people in our care.

As an affiliate of Netball Victoria, Warrandyte Netball Club adopts Netball Victoria’s commitment to promote and protect the rights of children and prevent abuse from occurring by fostering a culture where children feel safe and empowered. We also seek to ensure the cultural safety of First Nations children, children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds and children with a disability.

Please refer to the DOCUMENTS TAB for Netball Australia Child Safety Policies, and Codes of Conduct for Committee, Officials, Parents and what Children and Teenagers Can Expect regarding Child Safety.

PLEASE NOTE: All registrations involve ticking a box that you accept Netball Victoria's Child Safeguarding Policies and Framework prior to the registration submission. Please take the time to review the details of what you have accepted via the documents mentioned above.

The relevant “Fact Sheets” will also be posted to team/coaches & team managers chats. Please contact any committee member if you have any questions or concerns.
