Sporting Bodies & Associations

Sporting Bodies & Associations

Young people can have a lot of fun, make new friends, pick up new skills, and keep active and healthy by participating in sports. Our kids, our neighbourhoods, and our clubs all gain from this.

All parties involved – from state sporting organisations to leagues and associations, clubs, coaches, and parents – must be committed to developing kid-safe sports. We can all enjoy playing and cheering on the sports we love if we work together to make junior sporting clubs and organisations a safer place for young people to be.

Sporting bodies and associations are well placed to develop and share resources and processes that will create a safer practice at the club level.

Clear guidelines, codes of behaviour, screening practices, and clear lines of reporting are critical. 

 ChildSafe Australia is the expert in child safety that your organisation can rely on to help your staff meet your child safety requirements. ChildSafe’s framework strengthens your organisation’s screening, training, incident reporting, and risk management. 

ChildSafe empowers organisations with training resources and tools to develop a culture of safe people, safe programs and safe places.

ChildSafe Training and Australia’s child safety standards.

ChildSafe’s training has been developed to help organisations meet the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and state-based Child Safety Standards.

The National Principles for Child Safe Organisations (the National Principles) provide a national approach to cultivating organisational cultures and practices that foster child safety and wellbeing across all sectors in Australia. They give effect to the Royal Commission’s recommended child safe standards while including broader child safety and wellbeing.

Some states have developed State based Child Safety Standards.  ChildSafe’s training is delivered to reflect each states Child safety framework and reporting requirements.

At the core of these standards is education and training for staff and volunteers.
