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 training.
What we will do
● Make sure parents/guardians and children know the time and location of training and when they can expect to collect their children.
● Request coaches and other sporting personnel to arrive before scheduled training 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 venue (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.
